Te Papa was evacuated following the discovery of a suspicious item.

Police said the national museum in Wellington was cleared as a precaution.

Police specialist teams searched the building.

The item was deemed not suspicious and people allowed to return to the building.

The evacuation disrupted The Contractors Conference, New Zealand's civil construction industry conference, which is being held at the national museum this week.
