Wonderful remodeling/redesign. This is an asset to Auckland. Went to Degas to Dali, but greatly enjoyed some of the permanent exhibitions. Also the building is a fantastic blend of classic and contemporary. However, there are lots of staff and there is very little interaction/acknowledgement/ or even smiles from them. Espresso Bar on the top level has a wonderful outlook to... More

The newly re-built Art Gallery is a great activity for all. Lots of interesting exhibitions if you don't like what is on the walls the arhcitecture and views of the park and trees are equally attractive! Lots of variety. Add to your must do in Auckland! More

Located in the small and quiet side of Kitchener St., right in the heart of Auckland, this gallery was really 'art'.

Love the new Auckland Art Gallery, great building, nice mix of NZ and international art displayed. Especially the large-scale works working very well with the building make it enjoyable. More

We visited the Auckland Art Gallery to view Degas to Dali. The exhibition was extremely well presented and we were able to view these art treasures without the crowds you experience in Europe. Staff were helpful and managed the large numbers of visitors very well. Retail was a little short staffed but they did really well. More

When you walk up the stairs toward the cafe, use the back of the gallery and you get a great view toward Albert park. At the moment the trees are in colour and it is a lovely view. The presentation of the works could do with some improvement but I expect they will work on that as it has only... More
