Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa - Exhibitions

Exhibitions

For current collections see the Te Papa website.

Te Papa has a mixture of long term exhibitions of cultural objects, hands-on and interactive exhibitions, cultural spaces and touring exhibitions. The long term exhibitions of cultural objects focus on New Zealand history, Māori culture and New Zealand's natural world. The hands-on and interactive exhibitions focus on engaging particularly young visitors and include both indoor areas and out-door areas built and planted for the purpose. The key cultural space is the Te Hono ki Hawaiki marae with very impressive whakairo.

All permanent exhibitions are free. Many of the touring exhibition are ticketed, but there are occasional free days
