The Light-House
Light-House is an art project at Auckland's harbour. It is a wooden building at the end of a pier, close to the water. The Lighthouse / Tū Whenua-a-Kura is an artwork by Michael Parekōwhai.
Its exterior is in the form of a 1:1 scale 1950s family home and its interior features an installation of light as well as a sculpture of Captain Cook, titled The English Channel. It is surrounded by a wooden jetty that 'floats' on Queens Wharf. The public can explore the work by looking in its windows, through its door and by climbing the staircase.
