Overview
Perched on a hill in Auckland Domain park, the Auckland War Memorial Museum is one of New Zealand's largest museums. Highlights include Maori and Pacific Island artworks, traditional canoes (waka), and a meeting house (marae), alongside rich natural history exhibits featuring the extinct moa and the iconic kiwi. Daily Maori cultural performances showcase the haka war dance, while war memorial galleries record New Zealand's military history.
