Taonga 

A taonga is a treasure. Something rare and prized ‒ and something of cultural significance that goes to the heart of who we are. Te Papa houses the taonga of the nation.

When you host your function at Te Papa, your guests will be surrounded by these national treasures – and have the opportunity to see, to learn, to reflect, and travel back and forward in time.
