Explore the collection

Recognised as one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s premier collections, the Gallery houses an excellent collection of New Zealand works and has significant holdings of European art, Japanese prints and decorative arts. This stellar collection was established, and continues to grow, through gifts by generous benefactors or purchases by the Gallery’s founding organisation, the Dunedin Public Art Gallery Society.

Currently, 200+ records are online.

Please note that the presentation of collection material on this website is a work in progress and additional images and information will be added as they come to hand and copyright permissions are obtained.
