Why go
National collections connect Māori and Pacific taonga, natural history, art, and social history on Wellington's waterfront. Large-scale exhibitions and bicultural interpretation make it a strong orientation to Aotearoa New Zealand. At Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, these supported details reward close attention; the character of Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa becomes clearer when they are considered together.
