I paid one of my infrequent visits to our Auckland War Memorial Museum today. As its title suggest, it is a mix of 'memorial to the fallen' and a historical showcase of a wide range of diverse collections.
From Dinosaurs and a jade buffalo from the
Summer Palace, the to a German
V1 Rocket, this museum has it all. best of all it is free to Auckland ratepayers.

The temporary exhibition when I visited this summer was the New Zealand event, the
World of Wearable Art (WoW), which will later embark on a world tour to other museum.
If you get a chance to see WoW you should as it is inspirational and highly creative in the costumes on display.
