ニュージーランド・テパパ・トンガレワ博物館：海外からの訪問者の入場

Best experience...Be back again

I came into Te Papa to check out the new Whakairo (carving) exhibition on the weekend and it was an amazing exhibit made even better by the knowledge and passion of the Te Papa staff. By chance I struck up a conversation with one of the staff (Robbie from Kāi Tahu/ Kāti Māmoe - please excuse me if I misremembered his name). He was so helpful and knowledgeable about the exhibit. As a wāhine Māori it gave me so much peace and comfort to meet staff who truely value our taonga and share their stories with the respect and appreciation they deserve. I had intended to briefly look at the exhibit but after an amazing and insightful kōrero from Robbie I stayed twice as long to enjoy the taonga. I’ve now encouraged my friends and whānau to come along and see it themselves. Thank you Robbie for sharing the kōrero of these taonga with me, your passion and aroha translated into your kōrero. You are a great kaitiaki of these taonga and an amazing reflection of Te Papa and its values.

Definitely worth a visit. Engaging, informative and the exhibits are so well planned. I would recommend going and checking it out.

The museum was a great way to spend half the day, the Gallipoli display was exceptional and would highly recommend this. The other areas were a great insight to the cultural heritage of NZ too

Well worth the visit , a lot to see , great that your ticket lasts for two days , great cafe , delicious food

Fantastic museum. So much to see and do. Lots for children and adults to play on and learn. Everything displayed well. Clean, cafe had good choice of food and friendly staff everywhere. We spent over 5 hours there and sure we still didnt see it all. Dont miss it when in Wellington.

We visited from the U.K. while staying with friends who live in Wellington. The museum is amazing and well worth the entrance fee. We spent the best part of a day here, stopping for lunch and later coffee, in the fan on-site cafe. What a fabulous place!

This is an outstanding facility, and is a credit to the people of New Zealand. The variety of exhibits and displays, all pertaining in some way to the history of the country, be it geographic, flower and fauna, peoples and populations or a variety of other topics, are all extremely well done. There is a considerable amount of interaction with the displays, so it’s appealing to a wide age range. Can’t say enough to praise the work and effort that has obviously gone into this project. Your entry pass is good for 48 hours, so plan better than we did and allow two days to immerse yourself in this wonderful facility.

A wonderful afternoon spent in the museum. Our entrance ticket was valid for two days, which is excellent since there is so much to experience. Definitely worth the admission fee!

Like any museum there are exhibits that we like and others that don’t interest us. The Gallipoli interactive exhibit for us was superb, we spent nearly two hours immersing ourselves in the rooms. The lifelike giant sculptures were simply superb and the stories of the persons involved whether in the trenches or family through their own words were emotional. Floor 4 with the various exhibits especially The world of Māori and The Mixing Room gave us a brilliant insight into the New Zealand culture and history. A must see when you come to Wellington 👏👏
