My visit to the museum

The Auckland War Memorial Museum has a considerable store of historical items relating to New Zealand history and a special Maori section.

The Auckland Museum has been located at the Auckland Domain site since 1928.  This historic building is near the Auckland Hospital and is on a hilltop. It. It overlooks the Auckland Harbour and the Rangitoto Island.
.
The Museum is a place where the school and public visitors can learn and explore. Groups of school children, visitors and tourists go to the volcanic room to explore and learn about how volcanoes erupt.

There are 3 parts to the museum and there are over 30 exhibits. The displays are full of Maori and Pacific artifacts. On the third floor all the walls are listed with names of the people who served and died in the war.

A visit to the Auckland War Memorial Museum will educate the visitor and they will learn that New Zealand is known for its strong green stones, tall kauri trees, and its big and fast (but extinct!) moa’s.

Hi Eseki...
I really liked how you wrote about your day at the Museum. I really liked how explained what you did and what you did and wrote about your favourite places like the volcanic room.
