Auckland Art Gallery Notes

These are the notes that I took whilst we were being taked to about the Auckland Art Gallery. I think that now we know that we need to try and express our ideas through the costumes and through the way that we plan and document all our ideas.

Purpose: To be a creative catalyst for art and idea’s, offering transformational experiences that strengthen and enrich our communities.

What is the Auckland Art Gallery?
  • established in 1888
  • used to be shared with the library
  • 35 exhibition spaces
  • includes auditorium, studio, research library, members lounge & cafe

  • 16,000 artworks around 800 at a time
  • 11th century oldest artwork
  • different types of collections

  • the artwork belongs to the people of Auckland not the art gallery
  • a lot of people look after the artwork and decide what is shown on display
  • there is not just paintings in the art gallery but sculptures aswell.
