Auckland Museum Institute Member

As a Museum Member you get unlimited free entry to our Sea Monsters exhibition, direct from the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney. Plus, you also get an exclusive members-only chance to preview the exhibition on 6 July!

Explore over 70 displays of real fossils, gigantic replicas including a 13-metre Elamasour, hands-on interactives, and a video encounter that takes you into the deep as it was millions of years ago.   

Share the experience by adding a Friends & Whānau pass when you sign up, so you can always bring someone along to the exhibition with you.

Book your preview

Come along to our next Café Scientifique where Alec Tang, Director of Sustainability at Kāinga Ora will explore what it means for our cities to be increasingly flexible and dynamic. This talk is brought to you by the Auckland Museum Institute and is open to all.

During this session, Alec will explore the critical systems that we must nurture and strengthen to meet the challenges ahead and importantly, how we bring our communities along in that change.
