The Whangārei Art Trust is bringing the Whangārei Art Museum into the Hundertwasser Art Centre building, uniting our spaces into one arts and culture destination at the Town Basin.

This change will allow us to give back to our local community, with Whangārei District residents soon enjoying free entry to both the Hundertwasser Art Centre and the Whangārei Art Museum. This change will take place next year, once the two entities are officially integrated.

This means locals can experience the Hundertwasser and Wairau Māori Art Gallery exhibitions and Afforested Roof at no cost, and the Whangārei Art Museum's exhibitions will remain free for all visitors.

We have welcomed more than 200,000 visitors in the past four years, creating an estimated economic impact for the district of $7m per year.

Maybe the tears in this piece were not a coincidence.

Hundertwasser worked on the painting, The Emanations, at his Bay of Islands residence until shortly before his death in the year 2000.

After his passing, the painting was sent to Austria, where restorer Ralf Wittig was tasked with applying primer to the ‘almond eyes’. He set up the painting to dry, but to his surprise, the primer ran down from the eyes as if they were tears.

Wittig was shocked, thinking he had ruined one of Hundertwasser's last artworks. But after consulting with the Hundertwasser Non-Profit Foundation, it was decided that sometimes things happen for a reason.

Come and view The Emanations, with tears, at the Hundertwasser Art Centre.

Wrights Honey is now at the MuseumShop!

Experience the pure taste of New Zealand from a father-and-son beekeeping operation producing premium raw honey, cared for and harvested with a focus on keeping it as close to nature as possible.

Wrights Honey is never heated, filtered, or blended. Nothing is added, and nothing is taken away, allowing the honey to retain its naturally occurring enzymes, pollen, texture, and distinctive flavour.

Pure New Zealand honey, straight from hive to jar.
