About Time Capsule Gallery

An art history gallery and lecture studio listed at 30 Victoria Road in Devonport, Auckland. The website describes it as an online gallery, with a private collection of landscapes, still lifes and portraits of non-nude women mostly from the late 18th to early 20th centuries. The owner studied art history, and the collection can be bought for a home or as a gift. The gallery runs about 30 lectures on painting, covering how to tell if a painting is genuine, what makes a painting valuable, what makes a painting artistically good, and the lives and work of 19th-century painters, including lesser-known ones. There is also a lecture on women in history, illustrated with paintings.

Lectures are held on Zoom, in one-hour sessions for groups of up to six people, and there are live one-hour lectures at a set place and date. Registration is by email to gallerytimecapsule@gmail.com, and the gallery also has a YouTube channel with short videos of its lectures.
