spread across the length and breadth of New Zealand may differ,
the sections highlighted in the museums generally stay the

Zealand's history, history of European settlement in New Zealand,

Museums that Entertain
Besides the leading general interest museums in New Zealand
that preserve the historical relics and cultural symbols of
a nascent society, you can also visit the numerous specialty
museums such as the ones dedicated to war, planes and cars,
with Tours to New Zealand. With Tours to New Zealand packages,
you can also visit the many private collections including
art, curios etc.
Must Visit Museums
Auckland Museum (Maori and Polynesian artifacts), Te Pa (New
Zealand's National Museum in Wellington), Canterbury Museum
(Antarctica and Asian focus), and Otago Museum (theme galleries)
are some of the prominent museums that you can tour with Tours
to New Zealand packages.
Northland in North Island is home to the maximum number of
museums in New Zealand owing to the fact that it was the center
of political activity (Russell was the first capital of New
Zealand and its founding document Treaty of Waitangi was signed
here).
Museum Tours
Tours to New Zealand offers museum tours in North and South
Island regions. On these tours you not only get to explore
the cultural nuances and history of New Zealand but you'll
also revel in the scenic attractions and adventure sports
that a particular region has to offer. Bicycle tours, highway
drives, and walking trails are the popular ways to tour New
Zealand's collection of museums.
Visitors will also find a variety of smaller specialist museums
including transport and war museums, as well as private collections
that reflect the passions of individual collectors and enthusiasts.
