The Polish Heritage Trust Museum in New Zealand is a Polish heritage museum at 125 Elliot Street in Howick, East Auckland, near the corner of Elliot and Moore Streets. A white and red Polish flag flies outside to mark the entrance. The museum has two levels, an Upper Gallery with the main collection and a Lower Gallery that houses part of the collection, the museum's library and a room for screening movies and documentaries for up to 35 visitors. There is a dozen or so stairs and no lift. Free parking is available in the grounds, and buses can park there too.
The museum welcomes individual visitors and group bookings, and the website gives a group entry fee of around $10 per person as at 2026. It runs workshops and classes for adults, children and families, including workshops in wycinanki, the traditional Polish paper cutting, and family days at Easter and Christmas. School groups and home-schooled students can join its Stefania for Schools programme. It also takes part in the Auckland Festival of Photography, NZ Archaeology Week, Auckland World of Cultures and the Auckland Heritage Festival. It is open Tuesday to Friday and on Sunday afternoons, and after-hours visits can be arranged in advance. Most events start at 2pm. Our pick in Howick for a family afternoon of Polish paper craft.
