I found this place to be very interesting and had a great time. Went for a late breakfast at the restaurant (huge serving and well worth the money), then walked around the gallery. Art work is interesting and clever. Would visit again.
The gallery hosted the 5th triennial recently and the exhibition space and the pieces displayed had the modern artists take on local and international themes.

A very pleasant place to visit. The building is airy and spacious, with attractive open spaces to walk through and plenty of room afforded to the art works.

loved architecture, new addition to old building. peaks at the older walls etc throughout. cafe had very nice fare, appropriate serves, not over pretentious as many art gallery cafes are.
Free Guided tour by volunteer, Amanda, helped give an overview of the gallery history and New Zealand art. Modern building extension integrates with the trees of Albert Park through large glass windows, giving light and spaciousness. Cafe excellent too.
Well worth taking the time to see some really great art, its free entry and I took a few friends and we spent a couple of hours in the gallery.
A wonderful place to spend a few hours, especially on a rainy Auckland day. Interesting architecture seamlessly adding a large addition to an older Auckland building. Excellent exhibits and a fine cafe. Few other major cities have such an excellent facility with no entrance fee.
After a great day in the gallery seeing all the beautiful paintings, was great having a rest in the cafe, service outstanding and the food delicious.
The building is absolutely outstanding. Being there is a relaxing experience. We were lucky because the exhibition those days were really interesting. Free Wifi and a nice coffee shop are also a couple of good features
Lovely atmosphere and fantastic food, reasonable prices. We sat at a table outside and admired the beautiful sarked ceiling and just watched people go by even thought it happended to be a very wet day it was a nice spot to relax for a while after admiring all the wonderful paintings in the gallery.
