Went with my 4 year old granddaughter specifically for the children’s area. This is an amazing space, a segue into appreciating art, confirmed by her excited announcement “We went to the Art Gallery” as well as making her colouring pages into a book. What a wonderful space where play and art interact, with opportunities to dress up and draw costumes alongside real costumes and sketches from the NZ Royal Ballet. Poignant to come across Blair Smith’s Visible Panty Line, remembered as a superb jeweller and tutor at Dunedin School of Art.
love an art gallery visit, and this did not disappoint! the variety of mediums and artists showcased made me wish i could spend a lot more time than i had initially planned - particularly loved ‘Where U From’ and ‘Wayne Youle: Back in Five’.nnwill surely be returning; a wonderful detour from studying!
The Dowse Art Museum and Dowse Square are true gems in the Hutt Valley and well worth a visit.

The combination of art, architecture, and community atmosphere makes this a special destination for people of all ages.nnWhat stands out most is the dedication of the team who curate, maintain, and support this cultural treasure.

Good collection of varieties of art work and many like us took advantage as it was opened on Easter Friday
Especially enjoyed the Wayne Youle exhibition. Most unusual.
