Excellent variety of exhibitions at the moment. Frieda Kahlo might be a little expensive for some, but the Robin White is free and is excllent. We'd seen this previously in Wellington and it's brilliant, both the 'kiwiana' pieces and the works related to her stay in the South Pacific. Also fascinating is the collection of portraits where the captions are almost reverse-engineered to suggest they are hom-erotic or that the artists were gay (some were by their own writings). Fascinating. And as always you can admire some excellent exhibition spaces. Always a good stop if you're plaing tourist in Auckland.

It was a rainy day in Auckland so we decided to go to the Art Museum and we really enjoy the visit! The building is incredible, it’s surrounded by a park. We were lucky to see a special exhibition of Frida Kahlo. They also have a nice Cafe we’re you can take a break, have a cup of coffee and have a light meal.

Free to enter when we visited with a good number of themed galleries. Some excellent artwork, some thought-provoking pieces, and some ... not so! The Gallery itself is an interesting building in its own right with a nice cafe adjacent to a city park. If you have an hour, we would definitely recommend a visit.

It was pleasant walk thru NZ exhibits. Frida Kahlo was quite extensive as well. Another one we liked - Robin White. Nice museum to spend some hours during rain :)

Much enjoyed the Diego Rivera/Frida Kahlo exhibition which gave a comprehensive description of these two artists’ lives and careers, as well as insights into the development of politics and culture in 20th century Mexico. The art treasures too, were carefully exhibited and explained. The Robin White exhibition also was highly informative and educational.

We had a wonderful couple hours learning to crochet while sitting amongst the beautiful art in the gallery at the Queer Yarns event. There was time to peruse the art, be inspired and listen to the choir in the other room practising gorgeous music. What an experience. I also appreciate that there is paid parking near the gallery.

We were walking around Auckland and found this art museum is very central. The best part about it is that it is free and there are activities available as well. I enjoyed the Other Side exhibit as well as the one on masculinity. This is a beautifully designed building. The building is close to Albert Park and the University of Auckland. They also offer free coat check service. A donation is recommended so they can continue to offer this great free space.

We had a guided tour of the central part of the collection, excellently illustrating the blending of the European with the local influences. I discovered a few masterpieces that are not well-known outside NZL. To return and to spend more time there. After the tour we had a dinner, excellent in this environment as well.
