Aucklands War Memorial Museum (Aucklands Architecture)

The museum has significant collections of natural, social, military history and culture related to New Zealand and the South Pacific.

Auckland War Memorial Museum is situated in the Auckland Domain on the hill known by Maori as 'Pukekawa'. It has occupied this site since 1929 when subscriptions raised by Aucklanders in remembrance of their war dead, enabled the construction of what is considered one of New Zealand’s finest heritage buildings. To this day, Auckland Museum is a touchstone of remembrance for all who wish to honour their loved ones and fallen comrades.
