New Zealand Maritime Museum

We celebrate Aotearoa New Zealand’s bond with the sea and our unique stories of discovery, exploration, immigration and sailing. As one of the most geographically isolated island nations, New Zealanders have an incredible connection with the ocean. The Museum features the innovators and dreamers who forged New Zealand’s spirit of exploration, from the first discovery by Kupe, to one of the most courageous migrations by the Polynesian peoples, to Abel Tasman and then Cook.

The New Zealand Maritime Museum Hui Te Ananui A Tangaroa is a maritime museum in Auckland, New Zealand. It is located on Hobson Wharf, adjacent to the Viaduct Harbour in central Auckland.
