Schools / Kura Māori

The Hundertwasser Art Centre celebrates Friedensreich Hundertwasser’s lived vision - a life in harmony with nature and with individual creativity - alongside world class contemporary Māori art - and we can’t wait for schools and Kura Māori to step inside.

Inspired by Hundertwasser and the shared synergies with te ao Māori - we are excited to introduce a multi-disciplinary, horizon-expanding experience, encompassing themes of art, identity, architecture and ecology - aligned with the New Zealand Curriculum, the new Aotearoa Histories Curriculum and your local curriculum - reflecting some of today’s most pressing global concerns.

We want to work with you to create engaging, meaningful and customised learning experiences for your students, enriching your local curriculum.

We offer a guided exploration of the Hundertwasser Art Centre with Wairau Māori Art Gallery. This is followed by the option for students to express their own creativity and consolidate their learning with a hands-on studio session in line with the themes they have explored.

Access to this world class destination is central to our learning kaupapa. Schools or groups that experience barriers to visiting, financial or otherwise, are encouraged to get in touch and together we will try and find a solution. 

There are two options for your visit to the HAC

• Guided Exploration (Interactive tour)

• Guided Exploration + Studio Session (Workshop)
