Inviting you to see and understand the world in new ways, Olafur Eliasson: Your curious journey celebrates more than 30 years of the remarkable work of renowned artist Olafur Eliasson.

Through his installations, sculptures and photographs, Eliasson brings to life the invisible aspects of our environment, exploring themes of human perception, experimentation, and environmental consciousness. It proudly marks Eliasson’s first solo showcase in Aotearoa New Zealand.   

Led by the Gallery’s Tourism Coordinator Moraig Humphries and audio described by Nicola Owen of Audio Described Aotearoa, this tour will last 90 minutes and is limited to 13 people. We will have two sighted companions available, courtesy of Blind Low Vision NZ.
