Experience the whole of New Zealand in one building!
Te Papa is New Zealand's bold and innovative national museum. Explore the great treasures and stories of this country – its unique natural environment, Mäori culture and taonga (treasures), dynamic art heritage, and its fascinating history.
Te Papa is recognised as a world leader in creating innovative and interactive museum experiences. With a combination of the latest technology and classic story-telling, the museum educates, entertains, and inspires you at every turn. Experience an exquisitely carved marae, walk through living native bush, then be shaken in the Earthquake House. Get hands-on in the children's Discovery Centres, then venture into Our Space, a new multimedia experience, where you create the action! This is serious fun!
Te Papa is a must-see on every visitor's itinerary. Since opening in 1998, the museum has been a huge success with international tourists and locals alike, attracting over 14.8 million visitors.
Experience an Introducing Te Papa guided tour delivered by highly entertaining and knowledgeable hosts.
