I spent a day in Auckland and visiting this gallery was one of many projects I had planned. I mainly went to see paintings by the Maori people of the 18th century, but I also managed to get a first glimpse of some modern art. Although Maori paintings are rare, it is easy to spend an hour admiring them. The gallery also has a small cafe but closes early. During a short stay in Auckland, I was delighted to have the opportunity to visit this place.
