Join us for an inspiring evening at Aotearoa New Zealand's much-loved national museum.
Celebrate with us over handcrafted cocktails, an exquisite dinner paired with premium wines from The Wrekin Vineyard, and an exciting live charity auction hosted by Webb's.
Our auction features an exceptional collection of experiences, artworks, and unique items generously donated by supporters from across Aotearoa. Every bid helps support the work of the Te Papa Foundation and the future of New Zealand's national museum.
If you would like to donate an auction item or explore sponsorship opportunities, we'd love to hear from you. Please contact tory.chan@tepapa.govt.nz to start the conversation.
Tickets for the 2026 Te Papa Foundation Gala will go on sale in August.
