Overview
Since the first designs were drawn in 1883, the Gallery's
architecture has evolved continuously to house a growing collection
and accommodate Auckland's developing cultural life. Four key
moments in the building's history are highlighted in this
exhibition.
Learn how restoration and expansion have given the Gallery's
building a fresh new lease of life. From original archives to
concept sketches, 3D models, architects' plans and project
photographs, trace its transformation both inside and out.
