Sitting in the middle of Auckland Domain (basically big park), the Museum is bright White and massive Greek looking building. It is home to the war museum. Now They advertise the place as free but with a compulsory $10 donation per person. Go figure that out. The museum covers the whole history of NZ from the first days, to British influence, all the wars and even predicts the future if one of NZ many volcanoes blows.
My favorite was the volcano section. I entered a replica house Got myself comfy on the sofa to watch what I thought was a little documentary about what would happen if Auckland volcano blew. No. It was a demonstration. The house shook and heated up. The sights and sounds was really cool. But it was a pretty frightening 12 mins. Little did I know that I had escaped one land of danger (Oz) and now landed in another. I picked up the volcano and earthquake survival guide on my way out.
