this past weekend, i did something i should have done a long time ago and finally made it to the auckland art gallery. the art gallery is located in the heart of the city, near a place that i have walked by about 150 times, and is free to entry - which is why i say i should have done this a long time ago. of course, i can't even take all the credit for going as i met up with my friend lisa for brunch and on a walk afterwards we haphazardly walked to the gallery to meet up with another friend.
i don't have many photos and admittedly it was a pretty quick visit - we only spent about an hour total at the museum. it made for a great afternoon to hide from the ever temperamental auckland weather, and there were even a few pieces i recognized, which always makes me feel cool and hip and intelligent (which i TOTALLY am, right?).
there were also quite a few pieces of interesting modern art, which is huge since normally i'm not a big fan. of course there were smatterings of the stuff that makes me a non-modern art fan - a white glass door, a random light wire, and some neon plastic flowers that look more like mass produced home accessories from urban outfitters than modern art to me. one of the cooler parts of the modern section, however, was a room full of mirrors.
sounds pretty unimpressive, but it was a room in the middle of the exhibit that people lined up to go into. normally the line is pretty long, but since it was pretty manageable we waited and went in. and i mean it made for a preeeeeeeeetty impressive picture for my instagram account.
in front of the gallery and yeah i instagramed it. trust me it looks much better this way when i don't have make up on.
the giant moving flower chandelier at the entrance to the gallery. pretty sure it was from korea, but 100% sure this was asian.
