Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa
Te Papa is New Zealand's innovative and interactive national museum, located on the magnificent waterfront of Wellington. Te Papa is the most visited museum in both New Zealand and Australia, and for good reason: with a blend of cutting-edge technology, interactive displays, and classic storytelling, Te Papa educates, entertains, and inspires people of all ages.
Te Papa, which is free to enter, has received over 21 million people since its inception in 1988 and has been a major success with both foreign tourists and Kiwis. The museum's aim is to explore and present New Zealand's cultural and historical identity. The museum houses all of New Zealand under one roof; inside, you may learn about the country's major treasures and tales, as well as its distinctive natural environment, the vibrancy of Maori culture, its vibrant art tradition, and its interesting history. The exhibits are spread across six levels of the museum. The History Collection and the Elgar Collection, as well as cultural artifacts, interactive displays, and things focusing on Maori culture and New Zealand's history, are among the exhibits.
At the end of your tour, there is a terrific shopping experience. Te Papa's store has a great selection of high-quality souvenirs, books, and clothes, as well as treasures made by New Zealand's best artists, jewelers, and craftspeople. For the kids, Te Papa Kids' Store is brimming with interesting gifts, books, dress-ups, puzzles, and toys that are both instructive and uniquely New Zealand.
