Te Papa Museum of New Zealand


‘...this is a significant public project of which there have been undeniably high public architectural expectations... Complex structural and environmental building systems have been thoroughly integrated, and a high level of technical and construction proficiency is found throughout.... With Te Papa having become New Zealand’s most visited building, the architects have clearly met client and curatorial demands’
Te Papa is New Zealand's bold and innovative national museum and a recognised world leader in interactive and visitor-focused museum experiences.

New Zealand's geology and natural environment and the stories of New Zealand's indigenous people, the Mäori, are celebrated in Te Papa's permanent exhibitions, while Te Papa's Marae is a vibrant contemporary meeting house and a living communal centre, unique in a museum.

An exciting range of exhibitions display New Zealand's diverse art and visual culture and top-rating international exhibitions tour regularly. Te Papa's event programme features free events and entertainment, performances, floortalks, lectures, and more.
I Wanna Go!
