Art Collection

Since the 1970s, Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki Lincoln University has acquired a significant collection of over 300 artworks by artists from Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world. Known as a Living Collection, majority of these artworks are displayed across campus, enriching the environment and shaping the University's visual identity.

The collection serves as an essential resource for teaching, learning, and research, and is a valued part of the University’s cultural and intellectual heritage. As the kaitiaki of these taonga, the University is committed to their ongoing care, preservation, and display for the benefit of current and future generations.

The Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki Lincoln University Art Collection is available for public viewing and and can also be explored online on Living Heritage. For any enquiries, please contact the Art Collection Curator Millie Galbraith.
