Since first opening its doors in 1888, Auckland Art Gallery has amassed a collection of more than 18,000 objects. These include works from European and British schools, but also an important collection of historic, modern and contemporary New Zealand art and an outstanding selection of work by Maori and Pacific Island artists. The collection is shared between the original building, in French Chateau style, and a striking new wing which opened in 2011.
