A very interesting and informative museum.nThe Gallipoli exhibition is a must see.nLots of interesting topics from the treaty through a future vision for cities.n5 floors of exhibits to see and no time limit.nThere are also 2 cafes on-site that are worth visiting
The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa was absolutely amazing!nnWhat stood out straight away was the amount of free exhibitions—perfect for keeping the whole family entertained without having to spend a fortune. There was so much to explore and something for everyone.nnOne of my favourite parts was the exhibition on extinct birds and animals. It was really fascinating and well put together. The Earthquake House was another highlight—such a cool and slightly nerve-wracking! way to experience what an earthquake might feel like.nnThey also had a special exhibition on the war in Gallipoli, which completely blew me away. The detail on the statues was just insane—incredibly lifelike and powerful, making the whole experience so moving and memorable.nnOverall, Te Papa isn’t just a place to kill time—it’s genuinely a place where you can learn, experience, and enjoy so much about New Zealand’s rich culture, history, and natural world. It was an awesome time, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Wellington!
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Te Papa, the Gallipoli exhibition was particularly impressive and left us on the edge of our seats. The immersive experience and detailed storytelling really brought history to life. It's a must-see for anyone visiting Wellington, whether you're with family or on your own. The museum's exhibitions are always top-notch, and we highly recommend a visit. Great job, Te Papa, thanks for the experience.
We enjoyed the museum very much. We have been before a few times. We only had time for a short visit so spent it in the pacific area admiring the carving on the waka canoes a beautiful Pataka food store and the various photographs and interesting information in this display. I liked the outrigger canoes as well. I am quite astounded at the craftsmanship which allowed such long ocean voyages in all conditions.There was much much more than I can describe here. If you can go it's really worth a visit.
A first class museum on the global stage!nThis comprehensive museum is a must when visiting New Zealand.nThe telling of the national stories are told respectfully and truthfully.nSo much to see here.nAllow at least half a day and you may get around most of this excellent museum.nHere are some photos from our visit!
