The Gallery is located at the corners of Kitchener and Wellesley streets in central Auckland. Main entry is via Kitchener street.
Car parking
Accessible car parks are available on Kitchener street (approx. 10 metres' walk from our main entrance), as well as in the Victoria Street East car park (approx. 260 metres' walk to our main entrance).

There are several bus stops near the Gallery that offer seating, shelter, computerised timetables and touch-to-speak timetables. Please check the Auckland Transport website for more information
Taxis
Taxis can pick up and drop off from the loading bays on Kitchener Street (approx. 10 metres walk to our main entrance).
All areas of the Gallery are accessible by wheelchair or by pram, and we recommend using the lifts from our Foyer to access all exhibition spaces.
To access our Lower Ground level, please use the accessible lift at the south end of the Gallery. This is indicated by signage or you may ask any of our Gallery Assistants for directions.
All our lifts have braille floor numbers and an automated recording informs you of the level at which the lift has stopped.
Very occasionally there may be an artwork on display that doesn’t accommodate wheelchair access. If you are unsure if this is the case, please ask a Gallery Assistant.
Entry doors
We have three accessible doors located beside the Gallery's main revolving entry and exit doors. These are hinged, automatic opening doors and are activated by pushing a small ‘press to open door’ button on the grey metal bollard beside each door.
Once you have entered the Gallery, you will find accessible counters immediately ahead of you at our main information desk.
Accompanying carers / in-Gallery assistance
We offer complimentary Gallery entry to accompanying carers.
Gallery Assistants are available throughout the building to answer any questions or provide directions if desired. Gallery Assistants who can speak multiple languages wear red badges with a greeting on their uniforms.
