Dunedin Day 4 - Museum and Art Gallery

Our final day in Dunedin, the weather was a bit drab so we decided to do the cultural thing and visit the highly recommended Otago Museum and Dunedin Public Art gallery. We went into an interesting exhibition on Leonardo Da Vinci's machines in the museum and then wondered around the paintings in the art gallery - both were well presented and interesting. One thing we have noticed about most of the galleries in NZ is that they seem to disply very little in the way of art done by New Zealanders. We accept that NZ doesn't have a history as long and fruitful as the Europe, but they seem to fill most of their galleries with 17th century Italian and Dutch romantic paintings! Ah well, perhaps the NZ art just isn't up to scratch!
