The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa is New Zealand’s national museum, based in Wellington in the Wellington Region. Its collections cover five thematic areas—art, history, Pacific cultures, Māori perspectives, and the natural environment—and its exhibitions are interdisciplinary and interactive. The institution runs educational programs and hosts events, and it operates commercial ventures including publishing, conferences, and retail. 

The museum places bicultural representation and community relationships at the foundation of its work. Its audience includes the public, researchers, and visitors, and it pursues partnerships and programs that engage diverse communities. In March 2026, Jaenine Parkinson left Te Papa Tongarewa to become chief executive of Museums Aotearoa.
