'Great art goes 50-50 with great architecture'. So said Len Lye, the world-beating NZ artist (1901–80) to whom this super new art gallery is dedicated. And indeed, the architecture is amazing: an interlocking facade of tall, mirror-clad concrete flutes, inside of which is a series of galleries linked by ramps, housing Lye's works – kinetic, noisy and surprising. There's also a cinema, kids' art sessions and the broader Govett-Brewster Art Gallery next door. Don't miss it!
