    Great variety of exhibitions, lots of interactive ones, impressive building. We were able to get early access to the current ( and fabulous) Gallipoli exhibition.. great luxury to see it at an earlier/uncrowded time. We also had a beaut orientation tour, to the museum, and also to first peoples culture Many thanks Te Papa

    Great to not only see the display but also here the stories of the characters involved.This was aided by being there early and have the time to take it all in. It was disappointing to see some people just walking thru and not taking the time to listen to the stories behind the display.

    Thought payment was for entry into Museum of TePapa Gallipoli didnt realize it was free anyway after 1000hrs if we had not taken early entry ticket which gave us only half hour ahead of public which was not nearly enough time to get anywhere near thru the event of Gallipoli But considered it a good donation well deserved
