Lonely Planet review for Te Papa

Te Papa, the ‘Museum of New Zealand’, is an inspiring, interactive repository of historical and cultural artefacts. ‘Te Papa Tongarewa’ loosely translates as ‘treasure box’. The building dominates the Wellington waterfront and has become a national icon – an innovative celebration of the essence of NZ.

    A must see

    eeker recommends this,

    Te Papa was recommended by everyone and lived up to the hype. If you don't know where to go or what to see first, you could do a lot worse than starting here. Kid-friendly to boot.

    A Museum That Gets It Right

    muddy99 recommends this,

    This is how museums should be - engaging, relevant, vibrant and for the most part free.
