We booked a tour and our tour guide Samir was amazing! He has such a deep and broad knowledge and told us so much that wasn’t even written down anywhere. He guided the tour with so much enthusiasm he could have literally made us excited for everything. We’re so happy we booked the tour!nAnd the museum itself made us speechless! Every exhibition is so detailed and we loved the big amount of interactive games. It’s definitely one of the best museums we were ever in. Plan on spending a whole day here as it has 6 different floors and a cafe with great coffee in the 4th floor!nEverybody stopping or passing through Wellington should definitely visit it!!
My hubby and I decided to fill in the day at The Museum of New Zealand. The staff were very friendly and helpful when you enter. We casually strolled all through the different levels of the Museum, and viewed many displays. I was very impressed with the Gallipoli Display, very life like and the attention to detail was extraordinary, just an amazing display to see, definitely do not miss this.nSo many other impressive dislays, some interactive the kids will love.nSo much to view and take in, I did get alittle confused in things I was looking at, but I guess they call it art, each to their own.nGreat little Cafe area to sit and have a coffee and snack if you need a break Coffee is actually good too .nAlso Lifts provided for Wheelchairs or Prams or for people who struggle getting up and down on stairs to the different levels of this Museum.nReally enjoyed this Museum, time well spent
One of the best museums ever visited. Plenty of interactive and gamified explanations to everything about NZ not only for kids but adults too. The Anzac room left us quite speechless as well. A serious topic presented with very interactive and clear storytelling. The sculptures are some of the most impressive pieces of art we had ever seem. Leave quite the impression and a feeling of being tiny. The staff is also very kind and welcoming even before the official opening hours they are out and about and answering questions. Could spend many more hours wondering around in such a thoughtfully designed place. A must when in Welly.
This museum is a must. The building is fantastic and deserves a visit in itself. The exhibits are great, very well presented and explained. The presentation around the Waitangi treaty was excellent. Please do visit the 4th and 5th floors. The contemporary collections are wonderful. The coffee shops offer a nice space to close the visit with a chat and a tea.
This is an outstanding museum. The architecture, the different sections, the way in which the stories are curated are world class.nnWe took a 10.15 1 hour guided tour and it added so much value to what we saw and had interpreted for us. Well worth it. There is so much to see and a rooftop viewing area overlooking Wellington seafront.nnHighly recommend.
