The Lighthouse in Auckland is a striking public art installation located on Queens Wharf, right on the city’s waterfront. Created by renowned New Zealand artist Michael Parekōwhai, it is both a tribute to the country’s heritage and a thought-provoking piece of art. Here’s a detailed review:

About The Lighthouse

For those who enjoy art 🎭 this is one of those oh WOW 😲 all the way down this part of the wharf I'm not sure if you can go in . It is a large house type building with the inside looking like you want to . There are stairs on the outside you can walk up and get a fantastic view 🪟 from there. I'm not sure you will get an amazing wow factor if you saw...
