Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum is Auckland’s place of gathering, welcome and orientation, where we share knowledge of our taonga (treasures) and explore the many stories of Tāmaki. This Strategic Plan sets out our direction for the next five years.

Our annual Museum Medals awards honour individuals who have given exceptional service to the Museum and made outstanding contributions to the generation of new knowledge drawing on the Museum’s collections and research resources. Find out more about this year’s winners here.

In this online companion to the book, Crafting Aotearoa, several authors bring to light some of our untold craft histories through a collection of 52 essays. Touching on a variety of topics including exhibition histories and placemaking through materials and motifs, this companion shows the strong history and culture of craft in the wider Moana Oceania region.

In November 2019, Auckland Museum celebrates its 90th year in the war memorial building in Auckland Domain.
