Te Papa - the national musuem

On the 2nd day of our trip, we went to Te Papa musuem. It is prob 10-15mins walk from where we stayed. Noel looked at the giant collosal squid for quite some time. It was very interactive, and it also showed the video of how the squid was captured, then studied by all the experts of the sea creature. I can't help but marvel at this huge creature.

Then, the boys went into a kid's area. This time, they went into the heart of a Blue Whale. It was like a mini maze for them.

We could stayed here all day if we wish. Noel checked out the microsope, magnifying machine, the rafflesia flower (artificial,of course) while Abel checked out the puzzles. There were many mums with little kids in this room.

We then went to this new interactive area. We could take picture of ourselves and it can be collaged on a big screen. Picture would stay for a few days on the screen. We could also go through the archive or database of pictures that people have sent into the museum.
