City Gallery Wellington
Visitor activity
City Gallery Wellington is a dynamic cultural presence in the capital city of Aotearoa New Zealand.Whether it’s the latest exhibition of New Zealand’s avant-garde artists, an international collection visiting the gallery or just the gallery’s café, there are plenty of reasons to put Wellington’s eyes-and-ears-on-the-arts on your schedule.
It is an excellent representation of New Zealand’s dynamic contemporary culture – something you won’t see much of in the countryside. The gallery has no permanent collection, and instead everything is constantly in motion: you might be in town for a show by anyone from Shane Cotton, Colin McCahon or Len Lye to Wim Wenders, Rosalie Gascoigne or Tracey Emin.
Other attractions include the Michael Hirschfeld Gallery, dedicated to showing Wellington artists, and the popular Nikau café, making some of the city’s best coffee. In addition to free tours every weekend, City Gallery runs an extensive and engaging events programme, featuring everything from international guest lecturers to local artist talks to film, poetry and dance.
