Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa Tour | Wellington, New Zealand

— What You Can Expect —

The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa offers a comprehensive and enriching experience for visitors interested in New Zealand's natural history, cultures, and traditions. The museum is a merger of the national museum and art gallery, and its name, "Te Papa Tongarewa," means 'container of treasures' in Māori. 

The exhibits include displays and artefacts from Māori culture, early Aboriginal cave dwellings, wood, paper, and stained glass art, as well as a focus on New Zealand's unique geography, seismic activity, and ecosystems. The Earthquake Room is a must-see feature. With over 2,500 species of native flora and fauna on display, visitors can see the world's largest squid specimen, the extinct dingo, and New Zealand's national treasure: the kiwi. Learning about the country's ecosystem helps visitors develop respect for nature and the environment.

Enjoy an educational and enriching experience for people of all ages at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa!
