Lighting up the Museum

Have you ever looked up at the Museum by night to see it awash with colours and wondered what the colours represent?

The Auckland War Memorial Museum is an iconic Auckland building. It has customisable lighting technology which allows its exterior to be lit up in displays of vibrant colour.

We mark a range of historical dates, events and cultural celebrations relevant to Auckland's diverse communities through our building lights.
