Beginning over one hundred million years ago, make the most out of your trip to Wellington by joining your guide on a journey through New Zealand's rich history and cultures on an Introduction to Te Papa tour. Hear stories of our tenacious wildlife, the resilience of Maori, and artistic interpretations of life in the South Pacific.

After the tour, you have the freedom to keep exploring the rest of the collections that range from art and design to Maori culture and New Zealand's natural environment, or choose to explore Gallipoli: The Scale of Our War with the peace and stillness this subject matter deserves by entering the exhibit half an hour before the public.

Alternatively, you may book General Admission for the museum and explore at your own pace.
