Auckland Art Gallery is an art gallery in Auckland, established in 1888, is a New Zealand art gallery with permanent exhibitions. It has a wide collection of works of art from New Zealand and other countries in the world, and also holds some international exhibitions. It is a museum with a long history in New Zealand. The S$112 million refurbishment of the Auckland Art Gallery reopened in 2011 with the addition of a glass and timber atrium design that the architects had in mind from the start: to match the original local landscape. Complementing the main body of the original French castle-style building built in 1887, it is a museum with a long history in New Zealand. 2. Rich collection, both visual and spiritual satisfaction There are rich collections here, including works by Picasso, Gauguin, Rainey and other artists. In addition, art works from New Zealand and the South Pacific region are exhibited here. Covers everything from Charles Gaudí's 19th-century tattooed Maori portraits to Colin McCarhorn's oil-on-canvas paintings of characters. Friends who like art may wish to come and visit.

Award Winning Auckland Art GalleryAuckland Art Gallery which won the World Building of the Year 2013 personifies the beauty of restoration and adaption of heritage buildings. With the ‘tree-like’ canopies made of kauri wood that were designed to mirror the trees at nearby Albert Park, the atrium and gallery appears to float. The building itself is a masterpiece! The exhibitions were thoughtfully curated, with a collection of New Zealand historic, modern and contemporary art. There’s always new exhibitions begin put up and we love how we got the opportunity to preview the works of artist, Robin White wich were beautiful and inspiring. There is also a paid exhibition area for Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera’s collection at the moment. This world-class art gallery is a “must see” if you’re in Auckland. You can spend anywhere from 2 to 4 hours here. You’d be able to to buy gallery prints and reproductions as well as many locally made gifts. There’s a locely café serving wonderful coffee. Its perfect to have a sip at the café as it overlooks Albert Park and there’s free Wi-Fi. LOCATION: Wellesley Street East, Auckland CBD OPENING HOURS 10am - 5.00pm Monday – Sunday At present, gallery admission is FREE for all. #tripblazers #passionpassport #summervacation #urbanexplorer #aucklandpearl***19

Christmas in Auckland#2023travelwish Christmas in Auckland in 2022 is my most unforgettable travel. I’m here right now meeting my little nephew for the first time and I’ll wish to come back every year if I can! And there’s so much to see, smell and eat here. Take a walk around Auckland Domain and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful blooms at Wintergardens. Get culturally infused at the Auckland Art Gallery, War Memorial and catch a movie at Silo Park. There’s an abundance of cuisine here that will surely suit everyone's taste bud as well! So no worries for gourmands. My trip is coming to an end and all I wish for Christmas is to come back to Auckland in 2023 as there’s so much more to explore! Perhaps a trip to the South Island this time.#2023travelwish ##celebratewithtrip #urbanexplorer #summervacation #awesomepicpearl***12

Beijing designer Guo Pei's fashion dream exhibition in AucklandThe Auckland Art Gallery in the city centre is a white castle-style building that often hosts regular and themed exhibitions. When we visited, we caught the 'Fashion, Art, Fantasy' exhibition by Beijing designer Guo Pei (female, born in 1967). The beautiful costumes used luxurious fabrics, hand-embroidered with metal hollowing, lace, and Swarovski crystals and rhinestones, presenting works that were rich in Chinese style and contained exotic patterns and colours. Works with themes such as 'Big Gold', 'Reincarnation', 'East Palace', 'Encounter' blurred the boundaries of fashion, sculpture, and stage art, allowing the audience to experience ingenious design and superb craftsmanship. According to the introduction, some individual works took up to 50,000 hours to create. The art gallery's top floor has a children's activity room that provides materials for free for hands-on craft making. The Auckland Art Gallery is located in the city centre and is easy to find.ElijahMacKay71

Beautiful collection of amazing paintings. Especially Colin McCahon and Louise Henderson. Incredible portrait paintings by Goldie of Maori elders. Free to enter but may have to pay for some visiting exhibitions. Can easily spend hours here and everyone can split up and go their own ways. Often has a form of activity you can take part in gor free too. #wintergetaway #wintergetawayPondchanit1
