Visit Auckland Museum

Our doors are open daily. We'd love to welcome you in to share the culture of Aotearoa New Zealand.

One of Aotearoa New Zealand’s first museums, Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland Museum tells the story of New Zealand, its place in the Pacific and its people.

With internationally significant Māori and Pacific collections to explore, Auckland Museum is a must-see place to experience our rich culture.

Auckland Museum is housed in an historical building within a tranquil park which has beautiful views of the harbour. It is a place to discover and learn about New Zealand's history and stories.

Since 1929, the Museum has also served as place of remembrance for the many Aucklanders who have sacrificed their lives in war.

Whether you have an hour spare or a whole day, you will gain a deep understanding of New Zealand culture and heritage by visiting the iconic Auckland Museum!
