Gallery Highlights Tour and General Admission
Overview
Our Gallery Highlights Tour is the perfect introduction to the Museum and its wonderful collections, giving you a window into New Zealand’s past and present.
Over the course of an hour, you’ll be guided through our renowned galleries, giving you an understanding of Māori culture and the achievements of Polynesian navigators. Explore the unique natural history and geology of Auckland and Aotearoa New Zealand and look back on the conflicts that have shaped the nation.
The tour covers select galleries across all three floors of the Museum, and our guide will be happy to answer questions about collection items or galleries along the way. Let us show you around our place.
Note: This tour requires visitors to walk up a flight of stairs, therefore is not suitable for visitors with additional mobility considerations.
PLEASE NOTE:
Te Marae Ātea Māori Court & Pacific Galleries are temporarily closed until further notice due to essential maintenance work.
