AMAZING, is just one word to describe it. With my partner we thought we would spend just the morning visiting the whole museum, but it actually took us just the morning to visit only hall 1 ! And the whole day for the museum. The museum is well decorated with loads of kid friendly activities and overall great user experience. 100% recommend and hope to come again on my next visit to Wellington !
I was absolutely amazed and didn't anticipate such a remarkable experience from a free museum. The museum does an outstanding job of honoring and showcasing New Zealand culture. They provide a comprehensive introduction to the history of the country's founding, and also offer insights into the preservation of its natural environment, indigenous heritage, and much more. It's clear that they have a deep respect for their past and are committed to educating visitors about the importance of conservation and cultural preservation. The depth of information and the quality of the exhibits far exceeded my expectations
Wonderful!nA vast representation of New Zealand. Enjoyed every bit of it. Easily you can cover everything with in two to three hours, the more time you spend the more you learn. Entry is free, there are shop, restaurant so you can take a break and enjoy coffee. There are beautiful rooms with different themes so that you can sit and relax. There is an earthquake room where you can get a little shaking experience when it happens. Nice! I must say it is a must visit place in your bucket list.
Very cool building. The exhibits are excellent, particularly the Gallipoli feature.nnThere could have been greater signage on each floor to explain what was featured.nn*** Edit to update ***nI've just read that from Sept 2024, there will be an international visitors fee of $35.nThat is an extravagant fee for what's on offer!
Te Papa is a great museum that showcases lots of amazing exhibits!nI really enjoyed the World War 1 exhibit, the large people look like holograms nnI would totally recommend seeing this at least once, and I would recommend planning for an entire day.. for around 3 exhibits we took around an hour per museum. Also there is no eating, besides in the cafes or on level 1.
