McCahon House
Titirangi, Auckland · New Zealand
Colin McCahon's modest Titirangi home in the bush where New Zealand's most celebrated painter lived and worked. Located in Titirangi, New Zealand, it has long been a cherished destination for those with an interest in art and painting.
The artist home rewards careful exploration. Its New Zealand art history, dating from the mid-20th century, sets it apart from more conventional museums. The influence of New Zealand modernism is evident throughout.
The forest location makes for a pleasant approach, and once inside, the atmosphere is thoughtful and unhurried. It is the kind of place that rewards a slow visit — the details repay attention. Most visitors leave with a deeper appreciation for Colin McCahon's work and life.

We stumbled upon this place almost by accident and are so glad we did. The attention to detail in the bush setting is remarkable. Bring comfortable shoes and allow at least two hours.
