Engineering and conservation can be just as artful as any other media. See it all by riding our latest innovation, the Art Train.  Special commentary by Barry Brickell, the train will stop to view art along the way and you will have the chance to walk through one of the unique railway tunnels, and then have a BYO lunch at the Eyefull Tower. This is a very unique opportunity to get a 'behind the scenes' look at Driving Creek Railway.

Barry Brickell's new architect designed art gallery was built to house his extensive collection of contemporary NZ painting, sculpture and works on paper built up over the past 50 years. This will be the galleries first exhibition, mounted especially for the arts tour.
