The New Zealand Portrait Gallery

Encounter the stories of Aotearoa New Zealand through portraiture at the New Zealand Portrait Gallery Te Pūkenga Whakaata. With a programme of exhibitions that bring to life New Zealand’s history and cultural identity, celebrates artists, and invite us to reflect on our evolving place in the world.

The New Zealand Portrait Gallery Te Pūkenga Whakaata was founded in 1990 as a charitable trust. We have been in our permanent home in Shed 11 on Wellington’s waterfront since 2010.

The Gallery relies almost exclusively on donations from individuals and organisations to fund for its ongoing work, and on sponsors to fund its annual portrait competitions – the Adam Portraiture Award and the Kiingi Tuheitia Portraiture Award. We would not exist without the hard work and dedication of our many volunteers who serve on our Board of Trustees our committees and as team members.

Monday to Sunday 10.00am - 4.30pm.
Closed Christmas and New Years Day only.

New Zealanders: Free Entry
International Visitors (18+): $10
