The highlight of our visit to the Auckland War Memorial Museum was the volcano room. In the volcano room we had an amazing day. There was a model of a house in Puia St. As I entered the room I saw a living room and a sliding window where you can see Rangitoto and the ocean. All of a sudden the T.V came on automatic and the news was on talking about smoke coming out of the water. The smoke gets larger and closer, the larger it gets the faster the volcano is going to form. All of a sudden a thud struck out of no where. It gave me a fright and the T.V turned off automatically. White smoke transforming into black smoke and the room was shaking so hard that it felt like a giant had grabbed me and shook me so hard. KABOOM! The volcano shoots out black smoke and a GIGANTIC amount of smoke rushing towards us like a tsunami. CRASH! Everything quietens down and on the T.V we heard 'The Aftermath'. It was horrible, blobs of lava popping out like a popcorn on the hot burning active volcano sitting right in the middle of the sea. Huge smoke flying in the air as high as the Sky Tower. Burning trees, plants and houses poisoning animals and people. Burning tyres ruling the skies by covering it with black smoke destroying our atmosphere and creating a new world of darkness.
Back to reality, a man in a suit talked about the volcano and told us to go on a website which has a guide to survive before a volcano erupts. It was very frighting and a bit exciting.
The Auckland Museum is a HUGE place filled with historical artifacts of New Zealand.The Maori artifacts and the War Memorial are important New Zealand artifacts.
The Museum looks like the White House but a little browner. It gives it an impressive look.
The Auckland Museum is located in the Auckland Domain,facing the Auckland Harbour Bridge. It was built in 1929. It been there for 110 years. It’s hard work to build the museum. There are three different levels and 30 different displays and galleries.
The Auckland Museum is a major place where you can learn about different cultures. Thousands of schools visit there to learn about cultures and major disasters. It is a perfect place for people to learn about the traditions and customs of the pacific cultures.
All visitors should visit the volcanic room on the first floor. You can sit in a model house and you will experience what it is like during an eruption. On display are volcanic rocks that were used by Maori to warn of eruptions.
The war memorial is on the second floor. In the armoury has lots of weapons, armour and medals from the museum’s collections. Also see the names of New Zealanders from the Auckland Province who died in wars that New Zealand has fought in.
If you live in Auckland and haven’t been you should visit the War Memorial Museum. It is a place where you can learn about New Zealand and Pacific history. Especially, New Zealand’s part in World Wars.
