Auckland Museum

Museum Info

The Museum enjoys very high visitation and is a popular destination for Aucklanders and visitors to the city. Nowhere else can one so quickly and so compellingly be introduced to the people of the Pacific and New Zealand, and the remarkable flora, fauna and geography of these islands.

Auckland Museum contains 9000M2 of exhibition galleries over three storeys, and contains two vibrant children's Discovery Centres. A Maori cultural group performs live three times a day, every day, a programme of changing special exhibitions is offered, and we are a busy destination for local schools. A modern cafeteria, a must visit Museum Store and two interactive Information Centres help ensure that your visit is both a long one, and a memorable one.

The Museum provides specialist consultation services, is very well equipped to receive group tours, and provides venue hire opportunities for private and corporate hospitality.
