Love the blogs, well most of them, a few are over my head! As a lifelong Hutt Valley-ite Te Papa is “my” museum. We visit quite regularly, and I am really looking forward to the Wedding Dress exhibition.

Just trying to think what I don’t like – nothing springs to mind. The staff who I talk to are all helpful, I love the big exhibitions and don’t mind at all having to pay to get in to see them. After all, I’m sure they come at a cost. Everything else is free, so we can’t get better than that.

Thanks for the chance to chat, and now we know who to get in touch with about any issues.

I will have to come down one day and wander through Te Papa, last visit was Anne Frank exhibition.. but came down on a bus, easier from Wairarapa.. I wasnt into history when I lived in Wellington, been up this way for 20 years.. before that.. London, my hometown.. we dont appreciate what we have around us until we move!! So reading Blogs keeps my interest up..

Hi Rose and Hi Adele – thanks for the welcome and thanks for your comments!
I agree, not all of our blog readers like to get chatty …and yes, I’d like to hear from a greater number of out-of-Wellington’ers to get their perspective too.

I luuuuurve the Te Papa blogs!! They are so interesting!! But I dont necessarily want to engage in dialogue around them. I regard them as a source of information. And I go to Te Papa at least once a month …. but then I live and work very close.

Te Papa is definitely a friend …. but maybe Wellingtonians get the most benefit??
