Auckland residents will have free admission to the Voyager New Zealand Maritime Museum from Monday.
Museum trust board chairman Alastair Aitken said the decision to allow free entry was made after free admission trials over the past year greatly increased visitors.
He said he hoped free entry would make the museum more accessible and encourage Aucklanders to explore the city's rich maritime heritage.
