The Auckland War Memorial Museum (Tāmaki Paenga Hira), also known as Auckland Museum, is a museum and war memorial on Observatory Hill, the remains of a dormant volcano, in the Auckland Domain near the city centre. Its neoclassical building, constructed in the 1920s and 1950s, was designed by Grierson, Aimer and Draffin. Its collections focus on New Zealand history, natural history and military history, and the institution's collections date from 1852.
