Get More From Your Museum
Next week, on Tuesday 3 November 2020, Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum will launch an exciting three-tier Museum Membership benefits programme, as well as a relaunch of the free MyMuseum card.
Free
general admission for Aucklanders
Every Auckland
resident is entitled to free general admission to their
Museum.
By signing up to MyMuseum, the card-based programme removes the need to show proof of address at every visit.
From November, the old teal card is being replaced to one that’s personalised with each customer’s name, membership number and a barcode for easy scanning on arrival. A new sign-up process has been put in place to ensure fast, easy, free access to Auckland Museum.
