The Auckland War Memorial Museum, perched on a hill in the Auckland Domain, is one of New Zealand’s most iconic cultural institutions. Housed in a grand neoclassical building, the museum serves as a war memorial and a centre for natural and human history. Its extensive collections include Māori and Pacific artefacts, natural science exhibits, and poignant tributes to New Zealanders who served in global conflicts. The museum’s cenotaph and commemorative halls honour the fallen, while interactive displays and educational programmes engage visitors of all ages. Surrounded by lush parkland and offering panoramic views of the city and harbour, the museum is a place of reflection, learning, and national pride. It plays a vital role in preserving Aotearoa’s heritage and fostering understanding of its diverse cultures and histories.
