Forced to close early in response to Auckland's latest coronavirus response, the Auckland Art Gallery's Enchanted Worlds: Hokusai, Hiroshige and the Art of Edo Japan exhibition has opened once more - this time to audiences around the world in both English and Māori.
The exhibition features art from Japan's Edo period (1603-1868), and is now available as an interactive online experience - walk the galleries, get up close to more than 70 artworks, read the inscriptions, and enjoy having the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki to yourself.
The immersive experience includes three tour experiences - a family tour with fun facts and activities; a curator's highlights tour with insights into the period's poetry, music and fashion; and a more in-depth tour with extended information about the artworks. The audio tours are presented in both English and Māori, as part of a push by the gallery to make te reo more accessible.
