Recently redeveloped on site it exemplifies fine architecture and the traditonal object oriented strengths of museums. Live Maori cultural performances are a feature.

The Records of the Museum have been a major outlet for scholarly publications on archaeology and ethnology for Auckland, New Zealand and the Pacific, particularly on the Auckland region and the collections of the Museum.
