Auckland War Memorial Museum Tickets with Māori Cultural Experience

The Auckland War Memorial Museum offers a comprehensive insight into New Zealand’s identity through collections dedicated to its history, its peoples and its natural environment. During your visit, you can explore the various galleries at your own pace and linger in the areas that interest you most.

One of the most notable sections is dedicated to Māori and Pacific cultures. Among the exhibits, you’ll find taonga – objects of great cultural value – a traditional carved meeting house and a war canoe, all of which help to provide a better understanding of the history and customs of New Zealand’s indigenous peoples.

The museum also features natural history exhibitions, where you can learn about the region’s volcanic formation and discover aspects relating to the country’s geology and wildlife. These galleries help you understand how the New Zealand landscape has shaped life and the evolution of the country.

Another key part of the tour is the War Memorial galleries, which house historical military artefacts and accounts relating to New Zealand’s involvement in various conflicts. The exhibition combines original artefacts with personal stories to offer a more human perspective on the country’s military past.

The experience is rounded off with a Māori cultural performance, included in the admission price. During this activity, you’ll be able to witness various traditional performances and gain a more direct insight into Māori culture, either before or after continuing your tour of the museum.
