Far sighted preservation of a historic building housing a broad selection of NZ and collected overseas art. Great memorabilia and art objects available for sale as well for keepsakes or collection.

We went on a day when it was free admission for all. Nice blend of sculpture and paintings, with a section for children. Good place for a half-day tour.
