The Museum: Town Acre 445

At our central city location the Lower Gallery exhibition leads visitors through an exploration of Te Tau Ihu, top of the South Island from Tasman Bay to Golden Bay. This treasure-filled exhibition focuses on the region's fascinating history and identity, offering an opportunity for hours of discovery.

The Upper Gallery is reserved for short-term, changing exhibitions with local, topical or international themes. A vibrant stained-glass window featuring New Zealand's unique creatures and plants may be admired from the top floor.
