Next week, on Tuesday 3 November 2020, Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum will launch an exciting three-tier Museum Membership benefits programme, as well as a relaunch of the free MyMuseum card.
Free general admission for Aucklanders
Every Auckland resident is entitled to free general admission to their Museum.
