Following a significant 2011 refurbishment, Auckland's premier art repository now
has a stunning glass-and-wood atrium grafted onto its 1887 French-chateau frame. Along
with important works by Pieter Bruegel the Younger, Guido Reni, Picasso, Cézanne,
Gauguin and Matisse, it also showcases the best of NZ art. Highlights include the intimate
19th-century portraits of tattooed Maori subjects by Charles Goldie, and the starkly dra-
matic text-scrawled canvasses of Colin McCahon. Free tours depart from the main en-
trance daily at 11.30am and 1.30pm.
