Introduction

Dunedin Public Art Gallery, beside the Octagon and founded in 1884, is one of New Zealand's oldest public art galleries. Its collections are strong in European painting, Japanese ukiyo-e prints and NZ modern art — the Impressionist and Japanese holdings are outstanding; the building blends neoclassical with a glass extension, with shows rotating year-round.
