Sculptureum, Art gallery and sculpture park in Rodney, New Zealand.
The Sculptureum is an art gallery with sculpture gardens in Rodney, north of Auckland, featuring six indoor galleries and three outdoor garden spaces. Flat walking paths connect these areas and pass through seasonal plantings and art installations throughout the grounds.
The venue opened in 2017 and quickly became one of the most popular art destinations in the country. Its rising importance is shown by its place among the most-visited attractions in New Zealand today.
The name combines sculpture and museum, reflecting its blend of art display and garden space. Visitors encounter works by well-known artists alongside plantings and installations that work together to create something different from a traditional venue.
The site is located about 40 kilometers north of Auckland and is easily reached by car. The grounds themselves have flat paths that make walking easy, and there is a restaurant and vineyard for breaks and refreshments.
The grounds house not only art collections but also an active vineyard that extends the experience with local products. This combination of art, nature, and wine production in one place is uncommon in the region.

Auckland sits between the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea on a narrow isthmus marked by roughly 50 extinct volcanic cones. Mount Eden and One Tree Hill rise above the neighborhoods and offer views across the harbor, while Rangitoto stands as the largest volcanic island in the region and can be reached by ferry. The coastline shifts between the sheltered eastern beaches such as Mission Bay and Takapuna Beach and the black sand western shores at Piha and Bethells Beach, where the Pacific meets the Waitakere Ranges directly. The Auckland War Memorial Museum in Auckland Domain holds Polynesian collections and New Zealand military history, while Auckland Art Gallery displays European and indigenous art. Viaduct Harbour serves as a dining precinct and departure point for harbor cruises, and the New Zealand Maritime Museum documents the country's seafaring past. Karangahape Road gathers alternative shops and nightlife, Ponsonby draws an older crowd with cafés and boutiques. Britomart clusters restaurants and design stores in converted waterfront buildings. Waiheke Island hosts wineries such as Mudbrick Vineyard and Man O' War Vineyards scattered among vineyards and bays, while Tantalus Estate operates in West Auckland. Auckland Botanic Gardens present native plant species across 158 acres, and Auckland Zoo keeps over 1,400 animals. Queen Street runs through the center from the harbor to the University of Auckland, and Sky Tower stands 1,076 feet (328 meters) above the city. This selection covers the main sites for understanding Auckland's geography and range.
