Established by the Auckland Medical Museum Trust (AMMT) in 2014, the Museum first opened its doors virtually in 2017 with Brave Hearts – the New Zealand Cardiac Story, a travelling exhibition that profiled New Zealand’s contribution to cardiac research and clinical care.
From this came the idea to create a different kind of museum, one that gathers our stories solely online and is able to reach all corners of Aotearoa New Zealand
Come with us as we journey through the past and into the future, making connections, identifying parallels to the past, telling our stories, sharing our science and celebrating our trailblazing people.
Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua
We walk backwards into the future with our eyes fixed on the past.
