Kura Auckland is currently undergoing a change for the better!
Our gallery space and shop frontage is increasing and we are very happy to announce that our additional space will be dedicated to the promotion and exhibition of Maori Art.
This is a significant step forward for Kura and from our perspective a great step forward for Auckland.
Increasing our space has been a necessary step for us to take, as we are very positive about the future growth of Maori art creativity. We have every indication from both local and international visitors that there is a growing interest in acquiring quality, authentic Maori artworks.
