Quality/Quantity - Quite a few exhibits. See pictures. But not a very large gallery. Events - see their website. You can even rent for private events such as weddings. Very small gift shop. Atmosphere - Not easy to find, you have to know. Plus, there was much construction everywhere in this city. Very kid friendly. Free wifi, but it did not work well for me. So I gave up after a few tries. Open 7 days from 10am to 5pm; Yelp says you are closed Sunday? Service - Good. Price - Free. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1884. read more

Very un-pretentious staff & museum. A mix of fun and seriousness. Several galleries of art work & sculptures but also some interactive displays for both children and adults. It even has a spot for kids to play and learn in an interactive style children's room. read more

Specialties

The Dunedin Public Art Gallery's collection includes an excellent selection of British and European paintings and works on paper, gifted by generous benefactors or purchased by the Gallery's founding organisation, the Dunedin Public Art Gallery Society. Many of the major figures in Western art since the 15th century are represented, with high points including paintings by Machiavelli, Claude Lorraine, Rosa, Monet, Pissarro, Reynolds, Gainsborough, Turner and Burne-Jones. Other international aspects of the collection include Japanese prints, a selection of 20th century Australian art, and the decorative arts collection, which ranges across costume, textiles, ceramics, glass and furniture. Collecting New Zealand art is an important priority for the Gallery. The earliest works in this area of the collection date from the 1860s to a comprehensive representation of contemporary New Zealand art. Occupying a special place in the collection is the work of Dunedin born painter Frances Hodgk

City of Dunedin

This town of 130,000 people feels like it's a town of 10,000 people. Everybody was so great. Great…read morepubs great food easy to get around especially if you like to ride scooters because that is totally dialed in this city. Don't forget to go to the octagon. It's not about fighting. It's about community. Really a great spot.

Dunedin is known for its Scottish and Maori heritage…read more Dunedin is the Scottish Gaelic name for Edinburgh. Population of approximately 130,000. Quality/Quantity - Very urban city, some highlights are: Speight's Brewery - Make sure you take the tour, I missed it... Dunedin Railroad Station. Otago Art Society Gallery. Water Taxi to Castle & Gardens Tour, harbor wildlife cruise, etc. The Otago Peninsula Eco Restoration Alliance - Penguin hospital. Olveston Historic Home. Ocho Chocolate Factory. Royal Albatross Centre. Tunnel Beach Track. Baldwin Street - Steepest street in the world. Dunedin Public Art Gallery. Dunedin Chinese Garden. St Paul's Cathedral. Atmosphere - Cool urban city. But it is an urban city. Service - Good. Price - $35NZ shuttle to city; $21.50 US. City prices are good, again the exchange rate is currently in the US favor. Owner Comment - Thank you for a good visit and your success since 1855.

Tunnel Beach

Great place to visit for a brisk hike, the pano views of the rugged coastline, and the namesake…read moretunnel. The hike can be a strenuous one coming back up as it is steep incline on a dirt path, so allow an hour to fully do the hike down, enjoy, and the hike back up. The "tunnel" where the stairs take you down to the actual beach can be slippery when it rains and you have to climb over several large rocks to get to the beach from the end of the tunnel, which can be a bit perilous, especially in the rain. You do traverse private property, so there are signs everywhere stating to not stray from the marked trail. It is a pretty easy place to find via GPS and there is not really designated parking, so I just pulled up along a fence in front of the entrance and did not have any problems.

Absolutely beautiful place to take a walk! The path down was steep, so have good traction on your…read moreshoes, but it's an easy enough walk. Long, but easy - fine to do with kids. The views of the beach and the cliffs are stunning.

Its location is quite remote in that it sits at the end of Otago Peninsula in the middle of the Taiaroa Head Nature Reserve. Unfortunately the lighthouse is not accessible to the general public, but can be viewed from the " Taiaroa Head Viewing Platform " on the nature reserve as well as on the Albatross Tour. One can also view the lighthouse by sea. The lighthouse has led many whaling ship safely back home and is one of the most iconic landmarks on the Otago Peninsula ! As always thanks for reading!
