Nice to be able to skip the line, but the line is actually not very long and the staff is a bit unfamiliar with the process of redeeming the tickets. The museum is good, with lots of references and artifacts related to Maori culture. Serve as a good introduction for someone to start delving into the very local part of New Zealand.

Te Ra! To see this magnificent creation and to hear its story was a revelation. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The British museum should return this important treasure to its original owners.

seeing the Maori dancing , Seeing the culture of their people was wonderful. I would definitely recommend it to anybody that is going to visit New Zealand not to miss this.

We are not normally museum people, but we were so fascinated by all the exhibits of the Mauri and many Polynesian peoples, natural history displays and New Zealand’s part in several world wars that we spent four hours here. I highly recommend attending the Mauri cultural presentation held twice a day. It gave insight into their history and traditions and also was very moving.

Excellent museum. However, the Maori performance (we booked directly) was strange in the openly unfriendly way the performers treated audience members as soon as seated: no friendly welcome just warnings if you take a photo or applaud or (quoting) are there to “appropriate” they will chase you out. We were sorry we paid extra to be in the audience. Find a performance elsewhere - BUT don’t bypass the rest of the museum.,
