One of the best museums that I’ve been. The design of the journey of seamanship in New Zealand is displayed very well in the museum. This is a never miss spot if you visit Auckland for sure. As a sailor myself doing around the world race I got inspired more from their stories and histories all around. And of course the americas cup boat is the crown jewel everyone wants to see. Go and have the full sailor experience.

Salt Galata has many things inside that most of the people probably don’t know. In the first floor there is a library with working place on the left side of entrance. If you go straight you end up in a cafe and also neolokal (michelin star restaurant) kitchen. And on the upper floor from there is the restaurant itself. If you go up from the entrance you see workshops that’s been used for many occasions. And in downstairs there is a working place for graduate and phd students but if you ask to go in to the museum they lead you to the vault of the ottoman bank. Crazy place that you have to see. The old money and the other parts and the door everything is very nostalgic and fascinating.
