What an amazing place! I had known a little about him from some art history classes, but what a treat to delve deeply into his passion for color, the environment, and his attitude for life. The building itself is beyond description, you have to visit.nThe unbelievable unexpected addition was the cafe, which served me one of the finest meals I've had in the 2 months I've been in New Zealand. Service was over the top, both at the front desk and in the cafe.nPlan a day if you're in Whangarei, go and enjoy this place!
I knew very little about Hundertwasser going in, but I was so intrigued by the architecture, I had to check it out. This is a unique and special experience, as you wander around inside his art for an hour or so. The garden roof really tops off the experience, especially looking down below at his beautiful, mosaic courtyard. The Māori art gallery was almost empty and a stark contrast to Hundertwasser’s collection — hopefully it will have more when I go back one day.
Hundertwasser is a very well put-together museum with a māori exhibit area added just off the entry atrium, showcasing different emerging artists. There is a short film about Hundertwasser explains the man and his relationship to New Zealand which I recommend to kick off your tour. The whole space is magical and the artist’s legacy prevails.
Love this place. So well built and inspiring. Lovely angles and surfaces, colours and shapes. Hundertwasser was an interesting and creative genius. We are so blessed to be able to be surrounded by his art even those of us who never met him. Great cafes and excellent treasures to buy
Really fascinating gallery. Hundertwasser had some great ideas and it's nice to see the gallery display them and uphold them. It was a tiny bit smaller than I expected and so as budget travellers it wasn't the cheapest $30NZD. But that being said, it was lovely, the cafe was nice and I'm sure the money goes to the upkeep. Would recommend a visit for those interested in art and architecture.
