    About Kura Gallery Auckland

    Kura Gallery Auckland is a gallery of authentic Māori and New Zealand art and design at the Viaduct Basin in central Auckland, about a ten-minute walk from Waitematā Station. Its range covers pounamu, bone and wood carving alongside weaving, jewellery, painting, prints, glass and ceramics, bringing traditional and contemporary Māori art together in one space.

    The Auckland gallery opened in December 2002, a few years after Kura was first established in 1998, and the business also runs a gallery on Allen Street in Wellington. Kura is a licensed stockist for Toi Iho, the mark of authenticity and quality for Māori arts and crafts, and places strong value on the authenticity of work by its Māori artists, representing both established and emerging makers.

    With its waterfront location, the gallery is an easy stop for visitors exploring the Viaduct, and Kura ships throughout New Zealand and internationally, so larger pieces or gifts can be sent home directly.
