We are a small, community-focused museum located in South Auckland, with an aim of connecting visitors with Papakura’s cultural and natural history.
Papakura Museum is a community facility founded by the members of the Papakura & District Historical Society (PDHS). The Museum's permanent display focuses on the rich and diverse history of Papakura, Drury and districts and tells its story through text, image and artefact. The newly opened Military Gallery (May 2015) focuses on local military history. Each year the Museum curates four feature exhibitions that run from 2-4 months and encompass a variety of topics/themes.
Entry is free, although donations gratefully received.
Papakura Museum also runs an high quality education programme, cemetery tours and evening talks.
The Papakura & Districts Historical Society holds a monthly meeting (4th Thursday of each month Feb-Nov) at 12-2pm, usually with a guest speaker.
Please check out our facebook page and website for details on upcoming events.
Papakura Museum is proudly supported by the Papakura Local Board.
