Auckland Museum reopening this Friday
We're reopening our doors this Friday 19 Feb at 10am! We'll be spending tomorrow getting everything ready for you, including all the extra Level 2 procedures to keep you safe.
We're excited to let you know that Brickman Awesome: Epic LEGO® Creations will open at Level 2, however in the interest of safety the high-touch building stations won't be available. Other high-touch galleries including Weird and Wonderful and the Volcanoes gallery will be closed until Level 1, however most of the Museum will be available to wander. You'll also be able to enjoy our cafés and browse the Museum Store.
Tours will kick off again at Level 1. Our bookings team will be in touch if you've booked a tour between Thursday - Monday.
For more information about visiting in Level 2, please head to our website here: bit.ly...
We hope to see you soon!
Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
