Reviews

It’s such a great thing that the gallery provides access to art for everybody through free entries.nnThe exhibitions are great. I especially enjoyed the Walters Prize 2024 exhibition, where the work of four artists who’ve been nominated for the prize. Their works are amazing!nnWhat I see as more critical is “The Robertson Gift” exhibition, where the art from a New York ‘philanthropist’ couple is shown. It is definitely great, that the general public has now access to its impressive collection and I understand that the museum has no other option than to show its gratitude for this gift. But the circumstances underlying this are fundamentally wrong.nnArt with cultural significance belongs to the public and it shouldn't be on the ultra-rich to decide where and if it is shown publicly. A strong democracy should be able to democratize access to culture.nnOwnership entails obligations.nnWe should not have to be grateful that billionaires fund the arts and provide their collections to the public when their wealth is taken from the public, to begin with.nnNonetheless, thanks to the great work of the curators and museum staff that are behind these brilliant exhibitions.

Don’t miss the classic donors’ collection with Degas, Monet, Picasso, Mondrian sculptures and paintings. Modern exhibits are stunning, appealing and disruptive -as well as participative-. Let yourself be surprised by an “impromptu”dancer and  check for special performances such as Estrella, which was music & art by itself, a mixture of cultures, artistic expression and modernity & tradition July 2024. The entrance is free, is near Queen Street, there is a nice & friendly Cafe and walking around the exhibitions pays off even for a short visit.

It was a great decision to visit the exhibition. So many interesting works and outstanding artists. My disappointment overtook me on the 2nd floor when I saw the works of a Russian artist. At a time when Russia is launching intercontinental missiles, which can carry nuclear warheads, over Ukraine. Russia is not about art. Unless it is about the art of death, which they do very well.

 Beautiful Art Museum with Great Design and Valuable ArtworksnnThis art museum is absolutely stunning! The architecture and design of the building itself are beautifully crafted, and it’s a joy to explore. I really loved the attention to detail in the way the exhibits are arranged. The temperature inside is comfortable, making it a pleasant place to spend time without feeling too hot or stuffy.nnThe museum also features some important artworks, including a collection of notable paintings that are definitely worth seeing. The exhibits are well-curated, and I found myself admiring the pieces for hours.nnHowever, one downside is the souvenir shop. The selection of items is a bit limited and lacks unique, standout pieces that would make you want to buy something. A more interesting and diverse range of souvenirs would definitely add to the overall experience.nnOverall, I highly recommend visiting this museum for its beautiful design, thoughtful exhibits, and the chance to see some remarkable art. Just don’t expect to find many memorable souvenirs!

The Auckland Art Gallery, located in Auckland's CBD, featured a diverse collection of both national and international artworks. While there wasn’t a distinct theme connecting each floor or section, the layout remained relatively easy to navigate. Highlights of the collection included iconic paintings by Picasso, Dalí, Cézanne, and Monet, as well as striking sculptures by Degas and Rodin.
