Celebrate Spring at Auckland Museum

Celebrate Spring at Auckland Museum with LATE, Hauraki Gulf Seminar, Tonga Language Week and more.

LATE

Are we still a country prepared to stand up for our values or is political peacemaking our priority? In the wake of global events, is it time to review our international allies?

Join us at the next LATE at the Museum to hear decisive opinions from our panellists Nicky Hager, Jane Kelsey, Jim Bolger and Maiki Sherman. Comedian Alexander Sparrow will perform as his alter-ego, DJ Trump.

Last August’s LATE completely sold out - Book your tickets now to experience an evening of lively debate and the chance to visit our popular Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition after hours.

In partnership with Paperboy and RNZ
