  Take your time and wander about on the gallery. Lots of great new Zealand content to browse. Make sure you take it slow and be a nice person and leave a donation

  I used this as a meeting place for a friend. It was a great place to start that was free and gave a talking point for the awkward silences in between conversation. The art styles ranged significantly from the kinda of photography you'd see on Instagram to the kind of fine art that really showed off the skill. There was at least 1 painting im sure you'll find which you'll like. By having such a large range together it's give a pretty good talking point to who ever your with about what you appreciate in art and what you could care less about. New Zealand culture and telling the story of the average person was the main running theme and it felt like a stage for those who are usually not seen but very important to society. I'd highly recommend as a starting point or an ending long to your museum tour along Wellington.

  It has lot of portraits, this place is only if you are portrait enthusiastic. 15 min is enough to cover it all. This is only if you stay for long in Wellington. Entrance is free.

  This place is a hidden gem for me during sunny waterfront walks. Always excellent exhibits curated, particularly liked Wayne Youle and the recent caricature exhibition.
