  • Small permanent collection but interesting. Some Pre-Raphaelesque circle - including Marcus Stone and also several Hogarth’s engravings.

  • Amazing place, love every segment of it. Breathtaking crystal waka by Reuben Paterson greats you at the entrance (don't miss seeing it all lit up at night!), fabulous gallery store, super kind and helpful front staff, guides to fetch, exhibitions to see...coffee shop to chill, the whole ambiance is fabulous place to relax and recharge. Compliments to all the segments. Glad to be the member and support in micro way this inspiring institution. Membership highly recommended! So many benefits, perks and discounts, well worth it!
  • Amazing art and great service. The building was clean and had a nice layout and flow between exhibitions. The exhibitions themselves are breathtaking, the 'romancing the collection' was incredibly beautiful. The clowns were a bit weird though and the food a bit over priced but that doesn't matter.
  • Spent a rainy afternoon exploring the eclectic collections on display. Was very impressed by the variety of mediums, eras, and diverse creators on display in the beautifully designed building. While everyone raves about the natural beauty of New Zealand, if you find yourself in the city of Auckland, this world-class art museum is a “must see”.
  • Free entry, Some great pieces to look at and displays. You could spend hours there if you were to individually go through each piece. Wether you're an arty person or not it's definitely worth a visit (and if you are hey great! You're going to love it!)
  • Loved the experience. Beautiful building surrounded by stunning trees. The art collection was enough to inspire without being overwhelming. Currently one of the levels was under construction as they install the Frida exhibition. Shame I missed it this time around.
