The Auckland Art Gallery is the greatest architectural monument in New Zealand. This art gallery was built in 1887. Today there has placed a rich collection of art pieces of local and foreign artists. Large halls are usually used for international exhibitions.
Wealthy citizens donated from their private collections the first books to the new library and the unique pieces of art for the gallery. Other rich people followed the example of the founders and presented collections of old ceramics, furniture and other antiques. Now the gallery has more than 15 000 pictures, some of them belong to the medieval period. At the cusps of the 18-19th centuries in the historical building were placed several city institutions. In 1911 they were replaced to the new building of townhouse and the gallery received more halls for historical items.
