In 1901, visitors to the newly opened Lindauer Art Gallery on Queen Street in Auckland were able to sign a Visitors' Book and leave a comment about their experience. In the same spirit, we invite you to sign your name and share your reflections in the Whakamīharo Lindauer Online Guestbook.

Hone Nuku Tarawhiti Ngati Whawhakia, Ngaruahinerangi, Ngati Ruanui, Ngati Apa, Ngati Mutunga, Te Atiawa Hamilton, Waikato To preview these sacred images that have emerged from the silhouettes of our ancestory is to remind us of their legacy which is our identity unique in the world. Their prestige is closer to us than our shadows and their silence is our embilical cord to whakapapa and to the past. Pride, prowess and integrity.
