About Maritime Museum

At the Maritime Museum, in the heart of the harbour itself, our oceangoing adventures come alive. The trip begins with the foremost Polynesian voyagers who made their way to this land and runs right through to our ultramodern-day  titleholders of sailing. The Museum collects and exhibits navigational and literal artefacts that represent New Zealand's maritime history. An integral part of Aotearoa New Zealand's artistic fabric, the New Zealand Maritime Museum unites people with the ocean and our maritime heritage. Find out more about our list of  harbour sailings, collection, exhibitions, events, and galleries.
