Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki is New Zealand’s largest and most inspiring visual arts experience.
Enter between majestic kauri columns to explore four floors of exhibitions, many centuries of art and one of Auckland's most iconic buildings. Visit us and discover some of the best in New Zealand and international art right in the heart of Auckland city.
Please note:
Our external kauri canopy and columns are undergoing essential cleaning and re-oiling treatment from Mon 2 Sep – late Oct. The Gallery, including its shop and Mojo café, will be open as usual over this time. Members of the public can still enter through the Gallery’s front entrance, and gain access to our Mojo café and Albert Park via a public staircase along Kitchener Street. Access to work areas will be restricted.
