Award Winning Auckland Art Gallery

Auckland 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 #auckland
