Pictures : NewZealand : 2002-Dec-09 : Te Papa

Up
Te Papa is the national museum of New Zealand. I was only able to spend a couple of hours, so I fully intend to come back. It was an incredible experience all the same. Truly a first-rate museum. The "Junk Shop" is sort of an active show. There's a screen which plays scenes from New Zealand history, and along with each scene there's a piece of junk which get spotlighted and animates in some way. It's really well done.
