Te Manawa

Te Manawa is a museum, art gallery and science centre in Palmerston North, New Zealand. It is operated by the Te Manawa Museums Trust, a charitable trust incorporated on 20 August 1999.

At the cultural heart of our city, Te Manawa draws art, science and heritage together to reflect our past, illuminate the present and inspire a creative and sustainable future for our growing region and its people. For nearly ten years, Te Manawa has been governed by a charitable trust that has responsibility for its art and heritage collections. As a non-profit organisation and registered charity, it is reliant upon grants and donations to deliver its important mission.
