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 1. Design: The structure is shaped like a small traditional New Zealand state house (a nod to Kiwi suburban architecture) but is made of glass, creating a contemporary and reflective aesthetic. 2. Symbolism: • It houses a monumental stainless-steel sculpture of Captain James Cook, referencing New Zealand’s colonial history. • The glass walls allow viewers to see the vibrant interior, which is illuminated with colorful LED lights, symbolizing diversity and inclusion. 3. Location: Positioned at the end of Queens Wharf, it offers stunning panoramic views of Auckland Harbour and the city skyline.

My friend wanted to show me something interesting..in the distance a bright colored lighting illuminating inside a small building As I walked closer my curiosity was anticipating something amazing. 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 it in the day.

This is an amazing piece of art in the central city. It's such a creative installation with both an historical and artistic edge. On the outside, it appears to be a two-storied house, and on the inside, it has glossy white walls and bright neon lights, which reflect off of a huge metallic statue of Captain James Cook. There is a staircase leading up to a viewing platform, which also provides a good view of the Harbour and the city centre. Definitely best seen at night.

When I first saw this, what looks like a small two-story house in this prime waterfront location on the edge of Auckland's busy harbor with spectacular views, I wondered what it was as it looked totally out of place at the end of busy Queen's Wharf. It turns out that the house is a public artwork by Michael Parekowhai, a renowned Maori conceptual artist and known as The Lighthouse. It's a replica of a 1950s New Zealand family home on Queens Wharf. When I visited this small house there was an installation of light as well as a polished stainless steel sculpture of Captain James Cook (known as The English Channel). You can see The Lighthouse from Queens Wharf or from the sea on the Waiheke or Devonport ferries. It's illuminated at night. It's a pity that there's no information board on display, however...
