Auckland Art Gallery Toi O Tāmaki Development
"The development signals an exciting future for the gallery which significantly expands the role it can play in building and defining Auckland’s cultural and community identity. A modernised and extended gallery enables us to be more innovative and ambitious in opening up the world of the visual arts to a new generation of New Zealanders. We can display more of our key works more often and, with increased and more flexible spaces, we can enrich the story of art told through our collections and exhibitions programmes."
