Where can I find the Te Papa Musuem in Wellington?
Formally, the Colonial Museum, and eventually become the National Art Gallery, under the name of The Dominion Museum. Since then it has been renamed Te Papa, which translates to “Container of Treasures”. The museum’s aim is to provide a bicultural approach to its interactive exhibitions, celebrating all aspects of New Zealand’s culture. Visitors can learn all about Maori culture, through exhibitions like Mana Whenua. From there, visitors can explore the Art Gallery and learn all about Kiwi artists. So, what are you waiting for? Make the most of your next day off and visit the famous Te Papa in Wellington!
