City Gallery Wellington, also known by its Māori name Te Whare Toi, is a contemporary art gallery at 101 Wakefield Street in Te Aro, in the heart of Wellington's cultural precinct. It sits in the Wellington Region of New Zealand, making it an easy stop for anyone already exploring the city centre on foot.
What to expect
The gallery presents exhibitions of contemporary work by both local and international artists, spread across several floors. Because the programme focuses on current practice, visitors can expect shows that engage with the art of the present rather than a fixed collection of older works.
- Kind of visit: a contemporary art gallery, suited to a relaxed hour or a longer browse
- Layout: exhibitions across multiple floors
- Artists: a mix of Wellington-based and international practitioners
The area around it
Te Aro is one of Wellington's most lively districts, with cafés, bars and independent shops close by. The gallery's place within the cultural precinct means that a visit can easily be combined with other stops in the same few blocks, and with a walk through the central city.
