Silo Park Art Trail

Ready to experience the vibrant essence of Tāmaki Makaurau? Embark on the Silo Park Art Trail, a fascinating journey through the Wynyard Quarter's breathtaking artistic landscape.

This captivating trail cascades along the waterfront, punctuated by a collection of outstanding mahi toi (artworks) that tell unique stories inspired by  the Māori cultural heritage. Te Nukuao by Tessa Harris (Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki) is a powerful symbol of shelter and guardianship. Reflect on its design, influenced by waka hourua sails, and its acknowledgment of Wynyard Quarter's nautical history.

Then there is the iconic Wind Tree by Michio Ihara, a dynamic sculpture where gusts of wind and reflections of light  bring stainless steel to life. The trail invites you to get hands-on with Sounds of Sea, a playful interactive work by Company, melding art and heritage in a light-hearted way.

xplore the majestic Waihape by Reuben Kirkwood, where waka hourua sails grace the surfaces of Eastern Viaduct with stories of journeys old and new. Delight in the artistic surprise of Achy Breaky Heart, a bold tribute to language revitalization by Michael Parekowhai. Finally, Tīramarama Way guides you with celestial lighting, inviting you to learn and connect under the mystical Matariki stars.

Each step on the Silo Park Art Trail brings you closer to the soul of Auckland, a fusion of history, creativity, and nature. Join us to unveil the magic!
