The Museum currently has a series of exhibitions / galleries devoted to New Zealand's Social History. These are
Auckland 1866
Wild Child
Scars on the Heart
Auckland 1866 shows business and residential premises as they might have appeared in the rapidly growing seaport town of Auckland in the late nineteenth century.
This gallery presents a history of childhood in New Zealand over the past 150 years, explained in terms of the mirror themes of freedom and restraint. It looks at the patterns of play and routine that transformed the wild colonial child of the 1880s into the cherished modern child of the 1950s.

Scars on the Heart presents the human cost of war. It covers the New Zealand civil wars and Anglo-Boer War of the 19th Century, the First and Second World Wars, the Asian conflicts and our armed forces involvement in recent United Nations' peacekeeping missions.
