It’s easy to see why Wellington lays claim to being the arts and cultural
heart of the nation. It is home to the magnificent national museum, Te
Papa. With over 14 million visitors in 10 years, Te Papa succeeds in
challenging old ideas about what a museum can do. Experience an
exquisitely carved marae, walk through native New Zealand bush, feel an
earthquake shake beneath you, then settle your nerves contemplating
masterpieces of New Zealand art. Leading-edge technology combines stunning
interactive displays with museum artefacts to tell the stories of New
Zealand.
