About Muka Gallery

Muka Gallery is an art gallery at 110 Burnley Terrace in Sandringham, Auckland. It has a 4.5 rating on Google.

Its website says Muka was the printmaking partnership of Frans and Magda, who from 1984 to 2012 produced and published thousands of original prints with more than 322 artists from 34 countries, printed on a classic French Voirin press. It highlights the Muka Youth prints, original lithographs made available to people under 19, and invites young people to come and see them. Visits are by booking through the site, in 15-minute sessions with a maximum of four attendees, and the archive and printer's proofs now sit in the Muka wing at the Eastern Southland Art Gallery in Gore. Lithographs and monotypes reward close looking, so take time to see the texture and layering of the ink. If you bring children, it is a good chance to hold and discuss real prints rather than reproductions.

For anyone in Sandringham and central Auckland, Muka Gallery on Burnley Terrace is a place to see original prints by appointment.
