Hundertwasser Art Centre
A Fusion of Art and Architecture in Whangarei
The Hundertwasser Art Centre, located in the heart of Whangarei’s Town Basin, is more than just a museum—it’s a vibrant celebration of art, nature, and sustainable architecture. Designed by the renowned Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, this unique building showcases his signature style, characterised by bold colours, undulating lines, and a commitment to integrating natural elements. The centre’s most striking feature is its rooftop garden, which adds a splash of greenery to the urban landscape and embodies Hundertwasser’s belief in merging art with the natural environment.
What sets the Hundertwasser Art Centre apart is its dedication to sustainability; from its living roof to its eco-friendly construction materials, every aspect of the building reflects the artist’s philosophy of harmony between human creations and the natural world.
Just a short 30-minute drive from Taiharuru Cove, the Hundertwasser Art Centre is a must-visit for those looking to immerse themselves in Whangarei’s cultural offerings. Plan for 1-2 hours to fully explore the exhibits and enjoy the stunning rooftop views.
