Lovely, friendly staff. The guy at the door explained the free exhibitions I could visit. Came for the Photography of the Year photos, great experience and amazing pictures. My favourite is displayed downstairs.
Usually we are not really into museums but when we visited in the beginning of February 25 we had a really good time walking through the exhibitions especially the Wharenui Harikoa, because it included light into the art as well nBeside the entrance we even had the opportunity to make pompoms at a little creative area, so I would definitely recommend a visit
Great pop up museum! I am waiting for the new one.
Some old favourites on display and then the other part dedicated to the the docudrama of New Zealand's 19th century past. Free entry. Combine with a visit to the Art museum on the other side of the block.
This museum is a lovely place with excellent service. However, it is currently undergoing renovations and will not reopen until 2027 or 2029—I can’t recall the exact year. The exhibits feature incredibly detailed and unique pieces, especially for those who appreciate pottery. While it might not be worth a dedicated trip if you’re not a fan of this art form, its central location makes it convenient to visit if you’re nearby. Overall, it’s worth a look when it reopens.
