A new resource which draws on objects and taonga from Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum to explore histories of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. It is designed to help ākonga from years 7 to 13 learn about local histories that align with the big ideas, contexts and practices in the Aotearoa New Zealand histories and social sciences curriculum.

Te Whiwhinga The Imaginarium

Te Whiwhinga The Imaginarium, is the centerpiece of the Museum’s AM Learn programme. Te Whiwhinga The Imaginarium offers a fun and fascinating introduction to the Museum’s collections by showing how familiar objects and stories can be connected in unfamiliar ways, and is home to our revitalised Judith Goodfellow and Douglas Goodfellow learning labs and new orientation space, the Joyce Fisher Learning Base.

We're digging our new Fossil Van

Our new Fossil Van has hit the roads of Tāmaki Makaurau, bringing a free, interactive learning programme to ECEs, schools and kura.

Sponsored by the Central Interceptor, Watercare Services Limited and our Fossil Van supplied by Giltrap Group, the exciting suite of learning programmes we deliver onsite and offsite connects students to the ancient past. Students will explore local fossils that were excavated by Watercare at the Central Interceptor site, how they formed, and why they matter. They will also discover links between modern animals and creatures from millions of years ago, and uncover the whakapapa of fossils found across Tāmaki Makaurau and Aotearoa.
