Albert Park

Albert Park is home to many large trees, some dating to the 1800s.

Auckland Art Gallery is the principal public gallery in Auckland, New Zealand. 

It has the most extensive collection of national and international art in New Zealand and frequently hosts travelling international exhibitions.

Set below the hilltop Albert Park in the central-city area of Auckland, the gallery was established in 1888 as the first permanent art gallery in New Zealand.
