Fun free things to do school holidays, visit the Museum!
Remember the days before GPS and Google Maps?
This summer we’re encouraging families who visit the museum to join the ranks of great historical navigators with our free activity Quest of the Navigators.
Using a special map, you can follow our clues to discover what skills, tools and knowledge was used in the pre-digital age, which will help you explore the Museum’s galleries in a fun and interactive way.
Stay the course and you’ll go into the draw to win a special prize pack from the Museum shop!
Collect your map from the information desks in the Grand Foyer of the Museum.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Auckland Harbour Bridge summer works
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is carrying out essential maintenance on the Auckland Harbour Bridge this December and January. The southbound clip-on lanes will be closed (24/7) from 26 December to 5 January for road resurfacing. Night-time lane restrictions will be in place throughout the summer for recoating work on the bridge. Traffic will still be able to travel in both directions at all times.
