Auckland is a vibrant, arty city home to a number of fascinating galleries that showcase Māori, New Zealand and international art.
The Auckland Art Gallery(opens in new window) is a real must-see if you are visiting Auckland. Home to the world's largest permanent collection of New Zealand art, this gallery houses more than 15,000 pieces and is a great place to go to experience Māori, Pacific and New Zealand artwork. The Auckland Museum also showcases stunning cultural artwork in one of New Zealand's most outstanding historical buildings.
Auckland is also home to a number of smaller, quirky galleries where you'll experience a unique version of kiwi culture. These smaller galleries are often located in beautiful locations off the beaten track - don't miss galleries in places like Matakana, Piha and Titirangi.
