If the building is evacuated, red lights on the ceiling will flash in major exhibitions and in most toilets. Alarms will also sound. Hosts will guide you to the nearest emergency exit.
Rules at Te Papa
We have a few rules to protect our treasures:
Please don’t eat or drink in the museum. You can buy food and drinks at our two cafes, but please don’t take them into other spaces. You can eat your own snacks and lunch outdoors at the Amphitheatre.
You are allowed to take photos, except where you see signs. No flash photography or tripods, please.
Most objects can’t be touched. Signs tell you when you can touch.
