Mackelvie intended that the residue of his estate be used to build a
gallery in Auckland in which his collection would be displayed. Since
funds were insufficient to provide a new building, the trustees
consented to the majority of the collection being shown in the
Mackelvie Gallery of Auckland City Art Gallery, added to the original
building in 1893. The Mackelvie Collection grew considerably throughout
the 20th century, including the purchasing of bronzes by
Archipenko, Bourdelle, Epstein and Moore. Its most recent acquisition
was Elisabeth Frink’s monumental head Tribute II. The
decorative arts and book collections are now held by the Auckland
Institute and Museum and the Auckland Public Library.
