Introducing Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington

A tour of Wellington’s cultural highlight at the Te Papa Museum. On arrival, you will join your Te Papa Tongarewa guide at the museum’s Information Desk where the tour will begin.

An iconic national museum whose name broadly translates to ‘the place of treasures of this land’, this tour includes notes and observations on many of the treasures housed here.

Focusing on the Maori artifacts that are presented alongside the country’s developing history, this tour helps demonstrate the museum’s concept of a unified group of collections that helps to show the multifaceted narratives of New Zealand’s culture and history.

A site that encourages open discussion, the guides are eager to answer your questions and provide their own personal insights into their culture. Ideal for visitors who have only a limited time for viewing the museum, it hits all the highlights, but it is also recommended for those seeking an introduction before enjoying a more extended visit to this museum.
