A new way to experience Auckland’s cultural heart — together

Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki is more than simply a gallery — it’s a place where ideas take shape, cultures converge, and the world opens up. With multiple levels of dynamic exhibitions, thought-provoking programming, and a world-class collection, it remains Aotearoa’s most inspiring visual arts experience. And now, it’s easier than ever to experience the best of it.

There are myriad options to immerse yourself further in the gallery’s vibrant year-round programme, with the best way to do so being a membership — granting unlimited entry to paid exhibitions, access to special events, discounts in the shop and café, and more. And the gallery’s newest membership option, Dual Membership, inspires not just cultural connection, but connection to a loved one, too.

Auckland Art Gallery’s Dual Membership is a new offering for two people living at the same address — ideal for partners, flatmates, or close friends who want the freedom to explore the Gallery together or independently. Both members receive full access to the Gallery’s rich array of benefits, including free entry to all ticketed exhibitions (including this winter’s A Century of Modern Art, opening on the 7th of June), invitations to curator-led tours and previews, and use of the exclusive Members Lounge.

Dual members will also enjoy discounts at the café and Gallery shop, a subscription to Art Toi magazine, and regular updates to keep you connected to the city’s most vibrant cultural programme. A Dual Membership is available for $180 per year, or $270 with two guest passes — great for sharing your love of art with family or friends. This membership, or any on offer, are perfect as a meaningful gift for Mother’s Day, or for thoughtful gifting year-round.

From quiet solo visits to vibrant exhibition openings with a loved one, membership opens the door to richer cultural engagement, while supporting the Gallery’s vital work in our community — which is always a worthwhile pursuit.
