Jenny Holzer’s text works, called Truisms, were first executed as pithy and sometimes provocative slogans on the streets of New York in the late 1970s and early 1980s as stickers, t-shirts and posters, with the intention of taking art out of the museum and into public life. Holzer quickly converted these statements to the media of advertising and public communication with a series of pivotal LED signs, most famously in New York’s Times Square.
Holzer’s use of electronic technology is, she says, motivated by ‘needing to be where people look’.  Hanging suspended from the ceiling of the Gallery’s South Atrium, in STATEMENT – Truisms +,  2015 iconic statements like ‘ABUSE OF POWER COMES AS NO SURPRISE’ and ‘ENSURE THAT YOUR LIFE STAYS IN FLUX’ cascade and flash in speech-like pulsating rhythms and rainbow spectrums of colour, seemingly with a life of their own.

Auckland Art Gallery

pearl***

I would highly recommend visiting the Auckland Art Gallery as the exhibitions are thoughtfully curated and features both permanent and non permanent collection. We love the inspiring art by Robin White at the time we visited last December. There&#39;s a cafe and art shop where you can purchase unique crafts and souvenirs. Entrance is absolutely free.

Best Things to Do

Night view

M69***65

The Sky Tower is a landmark building in Auckland. Take the high-speed elevator to the observation deck, where you can see the entire city, the port and even the volcanic landscape in the distance. The glass floor area makes you feel weak in the knees, but you can&#39;t help but step on it to experience it once. The city lights at night and the soft lights inside the tower interweave into a dreamy atmosphere. The high-altitude walking and tower jumping projects on the top of the tower are very exciting. Even if you don&#39;t try it, just watching others challenge it is exciting enough. Standing at such a height, watching the wind blow and the clouds move, there is an indescribable sense of freedom.

Family-friendly Attractions

Axelly

The SEALIFE Aquarium was a fun and interesting place with many exhibits and animals to see. The penguin exhibition was particularly cute, and you could really experience them up close. However, the aquarium was a bit small, and we only managed to see most of the exhibits in about 45 minutes. We had expected it to be larger. While it was still a fun place to visit, it might not be a must-do in Auckland.

The whole experience was great, and it&#39;s a great place to learn about New Zealand&#39;s history and culture. The museum is quite large and worth a good half-day visit. There are many interactive exhibits, especially suitable for taking children out. There are also Chinese services, which is recommended.

Mount Eden

Mountain climbing

Although Mount Eden is not high, you can overlook the whole of Auckland from the top of the mountain, and the view is particularly wide. The remains of the crater are clearly visible, covered with green grass, a peaceful green. It is not difficult to walk all the way up. You can also see sheep grazing on the hillside. Their leisurely appearance makes people can&#39;t help but take a few more photos. The wind on the top of the mountain is very strong, but it is also very fresh, which makes people feel particularly bright. It is a good place that does not require tickets or planning, but can leave very deep memories.

Auckland Domain

Auckland Central Park is not like the common landscape parks in the city. It is more like a natural forest. The winding tree-lined paths and the tall trees on both sides make you feel like you are walking into the original green field, with thick fallen leaves and soft soil under your feet. The air is filled with the fragrance of plants, which is very suitable for jogging, walking the dog or just taking a quiet walk. There are also several sculptures and small bridges hidden along the way, which adds a little fun. Although it is not far from the city, you can completely escape the rhythm of the city once you enter the park.
