Friend Rod alerted me to the fact that Te Papa today were hosting the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra NZSO so we dressed up warm and headed off. Luckily it's only a short walk from Egmont Street to Cable Street - one of the reasons we rented an inner city apartment.
The orchestra had split up into small groups and were playing in different parts of the complex. We sat and listened to a couple of Beethoven pieces before looking at the exhibitions in the museum and art gallery.
Magic.
* The Māori name, 'Te Papa Tongarewa', translates literally to 'container of treasures'. A fuller interpretation is 'our container of treasured things and people that spring from mother earth here in New Zealand'.

Yes, but what was their wine like?
We didn't have wine at Te Papa but did have a glass each of ATA Rangi Rose at the Lightbox cinema. Delicious.
Must have been magic.
