Hundertwasser Gallery - Absolutely loved our visit to Hundertwasser. We wish we had more time to spend there. We will be back! We loved his enthusiasm for our environment , and keeping us green. So well done. Worth every cent. Teenagers all loved it too.

Travel in the footsteps of the artist - Excellent retrospective of the artist's work and thought. A magnificent place to discover an architectural alternative to current standards.

Don’t miss this experience - A visionary artist well ahead oh his time in understanding the synergy between man and nature, and the need to preserve what we have, his slogan “ You are a guest of Nature, so behave” resonates well today and needs to be the watch words for our progress through life. The displays mix well his work as an Artist, ecologist and visionary Architect, although smaller than the Gallery in Vienna, here focuses more on the man than just his work, so the experience is different but complimentary, so well worth a visit for both the admirers and the curious.

A must see in Whangārei - A beautiful museum near the marina. The rooftop with native plants is lovely. Save time for coffee or a meal in the cafe. Delicious.

Definitely worth a visit - Fantastic experience. There is a lot to look at even just on the outside, but don’t stop there! Go inside and see the exhibition of Hundertwasser’s art and other creations, along with various personal photos and documents. The film is also interesting and provides an insight into his philosophy and quirkiness. The Maori gallery was showing a small selection of art by well known Maori artists (I think this exhibition changes from time to time). I was really surprised to see work by such prominent artists in a gallery in Whangarei. It was very pleasant wandering around the afforested roof and cupola, and enjoying the views from there. Unlike a lot of museums and galleries, here you are not required to exit through the gift shop, but it’s worth a look as there is a range of good quality cards/prints and many other items. I think you can get a ticket for the roof or Maori gallery separately if you didn’t want to see everything, but it was our first visit so we got tickets to see it all, and we’re glad we did. People go to Europe to see Hundertwasser’s architecture and art - we are so lucky to have this right here in NZ. Go and visit!

Disappointed - We were very disappointed in the gallery not the art work but the price for what was a very limited amount of work. Not worth the money. The glass shop next door was more of an experience
