Auckland Museum was established in 1852, and contains extensive collections of Natural History, Ethnology and Archaeology, New Zealand History, Applied Arts and Photography. It also contains one of New Zealand's principal heritage Libraries.

The current Museum Building (opened 1929) is a memorial to New Zealand war dead who sacrificed their lives in the First World War, Second World War, and other conflicts. It is prominently sited in an extensive central city park, on one of Auckland's many extinct volcanic cones, and overlooks Auckland City and its beautiful Waitemata Harbour.
