What travelers say:

I would highly recommend visiting the Auckland Art Gallery as the exhibitions are thoughtfully curated and features both permanent and non permanent collection. We love the inspiring art by Robin White at the time we visited last December. There's a cafe and art shop where you can purchase unique crafts and souvenirs. Entrance is absolutely free.

The Auckland Gallery is also a famous art museum in New Zealand. The building is not very long, and the design of the building can be seen. The internal exhibition is also divided into different areas. The introduction of English is the main one. Other exhibitions will be held regularly.
