International visitors

Museum entry tickets can be purchased at the ticket desk on Level 2 in the museum, or online. International visitors under 16 years of age are free.

Buying online allows you to skip the queue, or book ahead of visiting. If you buy a ticket online, please have your printed or digital ticket ready as you enter.

New Zealanders or people living in Aotearoa New Zealand, you do not need a ticket; you can just enter your museum as usual. This includes visitors from Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau, and New Zealanders living overseas. It also includes those living in Aotearoa New Zealand here on a Visa issued by Immigration New Zealand that allows you to study, work, or live in New Zealand.

If you would like to donate to a campaign or make a one-off contribution of any amount, visit our Make a donation page. Every dollar donated helps fund Te Papa’s core work of telling the stories of Aotearoa New Zealand, and caring for and providing access to the taonga and collections.
