Past Exhibitions

Orion Exhibition

Located upstairs in our Cochrane Gallery, our Orion exhibition traces the origins and service history of the RNZAF’s fleet of maritime aircraft which performed exceptional service for almost 60 years...

Toys and Mascots

Part of the ongoing appeal of soft toys is their comforting presence, and ability to be anything a person wants them to be. Most of these toys started life as … toys. Almost all were made commercially and were intended for children to play with. Then, at some stage (and like all new recruits), each took on an Air Force identity.

Opening Hours
Open daily 9.30am to 4.30pm
