Te Papa is all about embracing a bicultural philosophy and sharing the amazing stories behind its cultural treasures. Its history goes way back to the Colonial Museum established in 1865, which eventually evolved into the Dominion Museum and then the National Art Gallery. Quite the journey, right? It's like a museum's version of a glow-up!

Fun fact: Te Papa Tongarewa translates to 'container of treasures' or 'container of treasured things and people that spring from mother Earth here in New Zealand'. How cool is that? So, get ready to explore the national identity of New Zealand while being surrounded by fascinating artifacts and stories. Enjoy your time at this treasure trove of a museum!

This tour was such a great way to see the city. The stories were interesting without feeling too scripted, and I loved being able to explore at my own pace.

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.

Started this tour with a croissant in one hand and zero expectations. The app just vibes with you, no pressure, just you, your headphones, and some cool stories.
