About the Friends

Our valued Friends of Te Papa members have supported the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa since its doors opened on the Cable Street site. They do this through the annual Friends of Te Papa Research Grants, by regularly visiting Te Papa to view exhibitions, by attending a wide range of programmes, and by contributing to Te Papa’s collections.

We invite you to become part of this vibrant community, to meet new people and enjoy the special programming, many events and benefits that form part of your membership.

  • Enjoy access to our programme, including exclusive Friends Previews, and Members Only Back of House viewings and Curator Talks.
