Te Papa

Te Papa, New Zealand's fabulous new museum on Wellington's waterfront, is a vibrant venue for the performing arts, cultural performances, conferences and dinners.

Like Wellington itself, Te Papa's strength is its diversity. With a fully equipped theatre, 30 metre-high vaulted ceilings in the central areas of the museum, and dedicated conference and function rooms, the building is well set to offer a venue for most purposes.
