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.

Warbirds over Wanaka
Hundreds of aviation enthusiasts turned out to see some impressive aircraft in action yesterday at a preview of the Warbirds over Wanaka show this weekend. The popular event had been grounded for the past six years, partly because of Covid pandemic restrictions. This Easter weekend it returns, with a sellout crowd of more than 60,000 people set to attend today and tomorrow. Photos / George Heard
