What’s in it for me?
Becoming involved in your Museum is a way of giving back to your community. Established in 1852 you will be part of a legacy to Aucklanders that goes back many generations.

Involvement can be at various levels; joining the Museum as a volunteer and donating time or taking part in the activities run by the various membership groups (Museum Circle, Museum Institute and Dinomites); donating funds or by contacting the Development Office. We have also established a bequest programme and invite you to consider leaving a bequest to the Museum through your will.
