University of Auckland

Welcome to the University of Auckland Museum and Galleries, nestled in the vibrant heart of New Zealand's largest city. Established over a century ago, we've been a beacon for knowledge, creativity, and cultural exchange in this dynamic cityscape. Our museum and galleries are more than just buildings; they are living testaments to the rich tapestry of Auckland's history, art, and societal evolution. Here, you'll find ourselves not mere observers, but immersed in a story that's woven through time, space, and human experience. Step inside our doors, and you're stepping into a world where history comes alive. Our museum offers guided tours that transport you back in time, letting you walk among the relics of Auckland's past, from ancient Maori artifacts to colonial memorabilia. The galleries, on the other hand, are a feast for modern eyes, showcasing contemporary and traditional works from local and international artists. But we're not just about admiring the past or the present; we strive to shape the future. Through our diverse range of classes and activities, we empower individuals to engage with art, history, and culture in a meaningful way. Whether you're a seasoned artist, an enthusiastic history buff, or simply someone seeking enrichment, you'll find a space here that invites exploration, learning, and growth. Located in the bustling business district, we're surrounded by hotels, restaurants, and shops, making us the perfect destination for both locals and tourists alike. Come spend an afternoon with us, immerse yourself in stories, art, and culture, and leave with a deeper understanding of Auckland and its people. The University of Auckland Museum and Galleries - where history meets today, art inspires tomorrow, and culture connects us all.
