Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, Art museum in Auckland, New Zealand
The Auckland Art Gallery features an extensive collection of 15,000 artworks housed in a building combining French Renaissance and modern architectural elements.
Governor George Grey established the Auckland Art Gallery in 1887, making it the first permanent art gallery in New Zealand with public access.
The gallery exhibits numerous portraits of Maori dignitaries painted by Charles Frederick Goldie, representing the indigenous heritage of New Zealand.
The gallery welcomes visitors from Saturday through Thursday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with extended hours until 9:00 PM on Fridays.
The 2011 renovation added kauri wood canopies to the building exterior, incorporating natural materials significant to New Zealand's architectural identity.

Auckland reveals itself as a city situated between two seas, with dormant volcanoes forming natural viewpoints and beaches that change color depending on the coastline. It transitions from a tropical park to a history museum, from a night market to a volcanic island in a few minutes, and each neighborhood adds a different vibe. The city features art galleries, wineries, coastal paths, and views overlooking the bay, creating a mosaic of sites to explore from morning till night. This selection highlights the most representative points of interest to understand Auckland's character and enjoy its diverse landscapes.
