Museum of NZ Te Papa Tongarewa

Te Papa Tongarewa, New Zealand’s national museum, is a premier event venue located on Wellington’s stunning waterfront. A hub for connection and collaboration, the venue accommodates events of all sizes, from intimate meetings for 20 to large conferences of up to 500 attendees.

The Wellington Foyer, bathed in natural light with stunning harbour views, is ideal for gala dinners and receptions. For larger events, the 900m² Amokura Gallery offers pillar-free space for conferences and trade shows, while the Soundings Theatre provides a versatile setting for presentations and performances.

With access to exclusive exhibitions, performances, and temporary shows, Te Papa’s cultural setting enriches the delegate experience. Its central location provides easy access to nearby hotels, dining, and entertainment, and is just a short distance from Tākina, another major event venue in Wellington.

Our chefs create farm-to-table, locally sourced menus that nourish your guests and spark their ideas. From daily conference meals to elegant gala dinners, every dish is thoughtfully crafted to impress.

Te Papa is committed to sustainability, being a member of Toitū Envirocare and accredited under the CEMARS Carbon Emission Management and Reduction Scheme since 2018, actively reducing its environmental footprint.

With versatile spaces, a vibrant cultural atmosphere, and a dedicated local team, Te Papa provides an unforgettable experience and is the perfect venue for any event in Wellington.
