The building itself was the main attraction to me. Spectacular inside and out. Difficult to find the entrance though! There is a reduced entrance fee of $10 at the moment as part of the gallery is closed. The exhibits were sparse and disappointing to me. Nice little gift shop and friendly staff.
Small but mighty art gallery, very chill and feels great to be there, easily spend an hour or more. great place to visit especially on a rainy day. Located right in the centre of the town, next to the white hart hotel and a short walk from the centre city mall. Great interactive art work and craft areas for both the young and not so young. None New Plymouth residence will be charged a $15 admission. Super friendly staff, always keen to walk you through the art work, tell you about the artists, and discuss observations. Great experience, highly recommend.
Went here on a rainy morning. For visitors it’s $15 each which is not bad. The exhibition was about Maori and Polynesian with their weaving and other stories to tell. The two lovely ladies were really accomodating and did a great job with explaining the art and story behind it. They also went beyond just that, expressing their opinions and views and really striking a conversation. I guess this is what art is about, it’s more than just the visuals. The place is spacious and well managed.
I do very much like the design of this building, it's very impressive. Staff are friendly and helpful. There are a few intresting galleries but not a huge amount and it doesn't take long to go through them
Beautiful museum — we enjoyed both exhibition spaces. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and everyone we interacted with seemed genuine and enthusiastic about sharing information about the artists and installations. The kinetic sculptures by Len Lye were amazing — definitely stick around to watch them in action.
