Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum is more than just an iconic landmark in our city; it is a place to discover Auckland – past, present and future – ask questions and to stimulate debate about our city and its evolving identity. Auckland 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. As a kaitiaki (guardian), we are responsible for more than 4.5 million treasures within our walls, the DNA of Auckland. And as Auckland’s War Memorial, we are a place for people to reflect and remember. This review shares some of the highlights that have made up 2020.
