Civilisation, Photography, Now June 13 – October 18, Cnr Kitchener and Wellesley Streets, Auckland City The doors of Auckland Art Gallery reopen on June 13 with a most poignant exhibition taking centre stage. Featuring more than 200 original photographs from around the world, this collection hauntingly depicts regular (although pre-pandemic) day-to-day life from around the world. In addition, the popular Enchanted Worlds exhibition – which takes us on a tour of Japan’s Edo period (1603–1868) – will now remain on display until August 16. What’s more, online visitors can still take a ‘virtual walk’ through the gallery to view high-resolution versions of a range of works. For details, visit aucklandartgallery.com.
