Dunedin Public Art Gallery
Features
New Zealand’s first art gallery – established in 1884 – is located in The Octagon, right in the heart of the South Island city of Dunedin. Notable for holding the only Monet in a New Zealand collection, the gallery mixes overseas art with local favourites, such as the pioneering painter (and Dunedin native) Frances Hodgkins.
Fans of watercolours will delight in over 1300 British works, and there’s plenty to please devotees of decorative arts, Japanese prints and classic oil paintings. There’s even a selection of 20th century Australian art to remind Aussie visitors of home.
Exhibitions rotate throughout the year, so check the website for the latest announcements.
