Join Waikato art experts Peter Dornauf & Norman Franke for a guided tour of the Auckland Art Gallery.
Enjoy and discuss masterpieces of European and New Zealand art history and of contemporary art. This one-day excursion takes place on Saturday 18 March 2023. Bus departs 8:45am sharp from in front of the EarthDiverse Centre at 401 Anglesea Street and returns by 6:00pm.

Explore the taonga (treasures) of the Auckland Art Gallery with two art experts who have a background in art history and cultural history and who are themselves practitioners. The guided tours are interactive: A brief introduction into or contextualisation of the object d’art is followed by questions and answers and discussion. Using the two major shows ‘Myths of Masculinity’ and ‘Romancing the collection’ as a basis, we will have a look at portrait and landscape paintings, still lives and installations, myth making in and through art, social, political and cultural discourses in light of historical and modern art making.

The tracks in this case are on the Te Awa River Ride, the new cycle and walking trail that runs alongside the Waikato River. A section of the route, between central Cambridge and the Grassroots Trust Velodrome, is in the process of becoming a grand outdoor art gallery.
