Overlooking the Waitemata harbour and occupying one of New Zealand's finest heritage buildings, the Auckland Museum War Memorial Museum is the cultural and spiritual touchstone for New Zealanders.

The Museum is the first stop for anyone wishing to gain an insight into New Zealand and its people. Includes priceless Maori treasures, amazing natural history, daily Maori cultural performances, and an ever-changing feast of local and international exhibitions.

Open daily 10am – 5pm except Christmas Day. Admission by donation, $5 per adult is suggested, children are free. Special exhibition charges apply.

UPDATE: Auckland Museum celebrated it's 80th birthday this year and to celebrate, new lighting for the building’s exterior has been fitted. The museum is already instantly recognizable and now with its new lights the amazing architecture is prominent throughout the night for all to see.
