A group of mostly homeschooled children and their parents met to visit the Auckland Museum on the first day the vax pass dropped.

They have been shut out for 8 months (including lockdown).

The kids were so excited.

The first people entered showing their mask exemptions and were told: you need to wait here while we “verify these exemptions”.

They never came back.

What happened next was unbelievable. They locked every single entry and exit from the building. No one could get in or out.

> Not one person came out to talk with the group.

Internal communication quickly labelled the gathering as “protesters” but **there was no protest**, simply a bunch of kids really wanting to see their favourite exhibits.

People tried phoning to see if they could figure out what was going on. No one seemed to know. Simply put, the staff were paralysed over not having a policy for dealing with multiple mask-exempt visitors on their premises.

Disappointed, the group left after a 1.5-hour wait and the doors reopened an hour later.
