Very small museum but worth the free entry. The building is gorgeous. My favorite was the Maori portraits - obviously unique to New Zealand.

There's no permanent collection, and exhibitions change regularly. Gottfried Lindauer's portraits of important Maori figures are amazing.

Wide-ranging collection with the hoped-for emphasis on New Zealand artists. Free admission. Cool cafe, with Steampunk coffee maker.

Degas to Dali exhibition is simply wonderful, although don't expect to see much of Dali. Worth a visit even if you are not into art

The Light Show special exhibit was good but the rest of the museum was pretty small without any real standout work.

For a building of culture some people should learn how to dress appropriately and get some culture prior to going inside.
