点评:We had heard about Wellington Museum which is sometimes overlooked for its neighbour across the harbour, Te Papa.
Located nearby to The Beehive by the harbour, this museum is a great little taonga (treasure) for those wanting to learn about Wellington and its history.
International visitors will have to pay for entry and cash/cars are accepted.
We booked a tour which takes place every hour and were not disappointed.
Our guide was amazing at giving us information about Wellington and its history from Kupe to Maui and the Māori tribes and customs including their toko (wood carving) and weaving.
The museum houses many fascinating stories about Wellington including Paddy the dog, Mrs Chippy the cat and also has an attic which contains miscellaneous items including various sporting memorabilia from local sports stars.
This museum is a great way to spend about half a day learning about the Maori and Wellington.
翻译:我们听说过惠灵顿博物馆,它有时会被海港对面的邻居蒂帕帕 (Te Papa) 所忽视。
这座博物馆位于海港蜂巢博物馆附近,是想要了解惠灵顿及其历史的人们的宝藏。
国际游客必须支付入场费,接受现金/汽车。
我们预订了每小时一次的游览,并没有失望。
我们的导游非常棒,向我们介绍了惠灵顿及其从库佩到毛伊的历史以及毛利部落和习俗,包括他们的 toko(木雕)和编织。
博物馆收藏了许多关于惠灵顿的迷人故事,包括狗帕迪、猫奇皮夫人,还有一个阁楼,里面有各种物品,包括当地体育明星的各种体育纪念品。
这个博物馆是花大约半天时间了解毛利人和惠灵顿的好地方。
