The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa is New Zealand's national museum, located in Wellington.
Known as Te Papa, or 'Our Place', it opened in 1998 after the merging of the National Museum and the National Art Gallery. More than 1.5 million people visit every year.
A fuller interpretation is ‘our container of treasured things and people that spring from mother earth here in New Zealand’.
Te Papa's philosophy emphasises the living face behind its cultural treasures, many of which retain deep ancestral links to the indigenous Maori people.
The Museum recognises the partnership that was created by the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, te Tiriti o Waitangi, in 1840.
