Not actually a war museum but the war memorial is in front of the building. Extensive exhibits of Māori culture. Also fascinating exhibits on volcanoes describing how Auckland is built on a volcanoLes mer
Reisende I remember the volcano formation info making me think twice about how safe NZ was and then after we left there was the earthquake that destroyed the steeple of Christchurch cathedral!😱 but it’s pretty stable so sure you’ll be fine. I hope you are enjoying yourselves. Loving following you. XX
