Off to the Te Papa Museum. It’s a everything you ever wanted to know about the history of New Zealand museum. Te Papa = Our Place. Ok, it comes down to this. Kiwi’s, sheep, glow worms, and mountains. New Zealand in a nutshell. The little Kiwi carries the largest egg compared to its body size of any animal. Play the audio file to get a kids perspective on the kiwi. Hilarious. Kiwi info abounds. Lot’s of kiwis. Way to many kiwi’s if you ask me. This ugly head thing below is supposed to be a baby. It was built by Weta to be in the film “The Frighteners” but then was never used. So for some reason the Te Papa museum wanted it installed in their kids section. Freak ’em out is what it’s going to do. Rob Engle from Imageworks was visiting and that is my one photo of him. It’s so DEVO. Ground control to Major Rob. Can you here Major Rob? Tah dah, the weird stuff at Te Papa.
