New Zealand Maritime Museum

Unclaimed

This museum held the most beautiful art I saw in New Zealand north island. Better than the art gallery and still fully immersed in the roots and story of the culture and history of the Island. Larger than you would expect. About an hour needed to enjoy depending on interest. Not as engaging for children as other sites but there are some spaces for children to engage.

How incredible to experience that NZ was able to have these amazing animals in different countries. It was a feeling of great adventure inside the museum. You will definitely feel your inner child vibes again!!! My favorite was the adorable penguins! And those stingrays too! Come and visit here and have fun!

Amazing museum showing the history of Auckland maritime and the several expeditions by Maori and Europeans to New Zealand. There is a special exhibition on Ernest Shackleton's Antartic expedition. Peter Blake gallery is also good showing the America's Cup history of New Zealand.

A place to learn the early times of Maori sailing experiences & the migrations. There are canoes which were used and means used for whaling. You can also go for a heritage sailing vessel experience. All the exhibits have been placed carefully with enough information regarding them.

If you’re going to Auckland you should check this museum it’s gorgeous and amazing ? i wonder how they put those big boats inside⚓️⛵️
