📍 Grey Lynn, Auckland
Objectspace at 13 Rose Road, Grey Lynn is Aotearoa New Zealand's leading public gallery dedicated to design, craft, and architecture. Free entry. Rotating exhibitions, talks, and events; also a Christchurch site.
Every showing i’ve visited here has been an immersive experience which i’ve gained an education from. Design of the space is always well thought out, and each exhibition has been interesting for me. I first visited for the work of David Straight, whose work began for me what is now a very major interest in John Scott and New Zealand Architecture. The gallery has a great selection of books and journals available, and the staff are friendly too. Visit!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for older kids, teens, and adults with an interest in design, art, or craft — exhibitions are typically curated rather than hands-on. Free entry makes it an easy stop alongside other Grey Lynn destinations.

“I was over the moon to discover that Objectspace is the one and only public gallery in Auckland dedicated to art, fashion, and design. It was such a pleasure to attend one of their events last night — a beautiful evening filled with fun, effortlessly stylish people and a warm, easygoing atmosphere. Already looking forward to the next one!”

“This place is great. They focus on design, architecture and craft rather than fine art. Not a large gallery, but really interesting. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Well worth a visit.”
