  • One of the most impressive things about the City Gallery Wellington is its dedication to showcasing thought-provoking exhibits that are unique. The gallery is known for its cutting-edge contemporary art, and you can always expect to see something innovative and inspiring on display. What I appreciate most about the City Gallery Wellington is its commitment to diversity and inclusivity. The gallery actively seeks out works from a wide range of artists, from various backgrounds and perspectives, and this is reflected in the exhibits. Whether you are interested in painting, sculpture, installation, or video art, you are sure to find something that speaks to you at the City Gallery Wellington. Another thing that sets this gallery apart is its willingness to take risks and showcase works that might be considered controversial or challenging. This approach leads to some truly compelling exhibits that push boundaries and invite visitors to think deeply about the issues and ideas explored in the art. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the City Gallery Wellington for anyone interested in contemporary art. The exhibits are always thought-provoking, unique, and engaging, and the gallery itself is a beautiful space that provides an excellent backdrop for the art. Whether you are a seasoned art lover or just starting to explore the world of contemporary art, you are sure to find something to captivate your imagination at the City Gallery Wellington.
  • I went to see the paintings of Hilma af Klint. The first room I went to had the huge, amazingly impressive Temple canvases. They were hung in a dramatic line along one wall. They absorbed and overwhelmed me. The watercolours were interesting, the downstairs had smaller oils and older works. Everything was beautifully displayed for maximum effect. The staff were helpful and discreet.
