In the center, you can say, in the heart of Wellington , the park "Chivik Suar", is the City Gallery of Art. The opening of this very place has played a huge role in the formation of this city as a capital.
What to see?
In 2009, the complete reconstruction of the building was completed. As a result, new premises and halls were opened. The gallery was replenished with an exhibition of Maori art objects, as well as the peoples of the Pacific Ocean.
The feature of the gallery is that there are no permanent collections in it. Several times a month, various works are exhibited here. In addition, it is not uncommon to see personal exhibitions of the following famous artists: Yayee Kusama, Rita Agnes, Shana Cotton, Lawrence Aberhart, Bill Hammond, Tony Fomison, Ralph Hother and many others.
It's nice to know that, in addition to tourists from all over the world, the gallery is visited by groups of students in primary and secondary schools and this is carried out as part of the education program throughout New Zealand . The most interesting thing is that you can attend master classes, lectures, meetings.
By the way, in 1998 the City Gallery created its own fund, everyone can become a member. And the level of membership depends on what the benefits will be enjoyed by the participant.
How to get there?
Around the City Gallery excellent transport interchange. So, you can get here by trams No. 12, 8, 19, and buses No. 2, 28, 41.
