Hours & Admission

Step inside and journey into the world of painter, ecologist, architect and visionary Friedensreich Hundertwasser and contemporary Māori artists.

Discover the Hundertwasser in New Zealand 1973–2000 Exhibition which showcases the largest collection of Hundertwasser’s original artworks outside of Vienna, alongside contemporary Māori art in the Wairau Māori Art Gallery.

Experience architecture that celebrates individual creativity and a deep respect for the environment. Walk on the Afforested Roof, where nature and architecture unite to create a peaceful green space with stunning views of the Whangārei marina and Town Basin.

We recommend allowing 1 to 1.5 hours for your visit. Your ticket is valid all day, giving you time to explore at your own pace.

A ticket is required to access the Hundertwasser Exhibition, Afforested Roof and Wairau Māori Art Gallery. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door. You can also purchase separate tickets to visit just the Afforested Roof or the Wairau Māori Art Gallery.
