Views, natural light, and a huge range of configuration options makes Oceania one of Te Papa's most popular spaces. Overlooking Wellington harbour and Waitangi Park, an event in Oceania is a unique Wellington experience.

Oceania has a 519 square meter floor space, and easy access to our museum-size goods lift, making it ideal for exhibition trade booths.

You can also divide the space into four smaller areas to accommodate a conference space with break-out rooms.

The addition of four screens and data projectors means this space will have everything you need.

The Oceania room also allows for catering for 400-450 pax at expos.

Please note, these capacities are the maximum number of people, with no additional factors such as a stage or catering set-ups.
