Signs of a Nation | Ngā Tohu Kotahitanga is a fascinating open exhibition space based around a giant replica of New Zealand’s founding document, the Treaty of Waitangi.

Or imagine your function in the interactive Awesome Forces exhibition, amid earthquake simulators and footage of Mt Ruapehu eruptions.

On a more serious note, the galleries on Levels 5 and 6 offer unique opportunities to hold private functions surrounded by treasured artworks and artefacts.
