Auckland War Memorial Museum to be lit blue this evening

Auckland War Memorial Museum will tonight mark the birth of His Royal Highness Prince of Cambridge by lighting the exterior of the building blue.

Auckland Museum Director Roy Clare said: “Like many others in Tamaki Makaurau we welcome news of the safe arrival of the third in line to the British throne. It is a significant moment in Aotearoa New Zealand’s constitutional history and public life and we are very pleased to contribute to the global celebrations by illuminating the museum in blue this evening.”

The exterior of Auckland Museum is lit for important civic and cultural moments for New Zealand or Auckland, as one of ways the museum helps position Auckland as a vibrant and compelling place to live or visit.
