Auckland's big Little City
Auckland Museum
One of Auckland's most iconic heritage buildings
Situated on Auckland's beautiful domain in one of our finest heritage buidlings. Inside are priceless Maori treasures and stories of our natural history. There's also 3 Maori cultural performances daily. Auckland War Memorial Museum is New Zealands first museum. Established in 1852 in a two-room farm cottage in the central Auckland suburb of Grafton, Auckland Museum is recognised as holding nationally and internationally significant collections.
The Museum tells the story of New Zealand, its place in the Pacific and its people. The Museum is a war memorial for the province of Auckland and holds one of New Zealands top three heritage libraries.
It has pre-eminent Maori and Pacific collections, significant natural history resources and major social and military history collections, as well as decorative arts and pictorial collections.
The Museum is home to millions of objects, provides educational services to over 60,000 school children annually and is one of New Zealands most popular man-made tourist attractions with around half a million visitors every year. Over 100 full-time and 200 volunteers help maintain the Museum and its very special collections.
