Introduction
Auckland Museum (Tamaki Paenga Hira) crowns the volcanic rise of the Auckland Domain; its 1929 neoclassical building is a city landmark. It holds one of the world's greatest collections of Maori and Pacific artefacts, including a full wharenui (meeting house) and a giant war canoe, plus natural history and NZ war galleries; daily Maori cultural performances and the dome view make it Auckland's must-see.
