Te Papa does NOT mean "Our Place" i te reo Maori: it is short for Te Papa- tongarewa which can be translated as " The Box of Treasures" (and can be translated as very much ruder things.) The "Our Place" gloss, along with the ridiculous thumbprint logo are pure advertising consultant's makeups. Kia ora mai ra na Physsher
