Join us for a drink and kōrero followed by an early peak at Timeless: Treasures from the Historical Collection.
Across centuries and continents, artists have long looked outward in a spirit of discovery. These treasured works from the Gallery’s historical collection reveal an enduring curiosity about the world and its possibilities. The exhibition brings together works that reflect the varied ways artists have responded to the places, people and ideas they encountered. Some looked beyond familiar surroundings for new subjects and experiences, while others found challenge and inspiration closer to home, in landscapes shaped by light, weather and season.
An event exclusive for TOGETHER partners.
