The New Zealand Portrait Gallery

The New Zealand Portrait Gallery gives us perspectives on ourselves and our place in the world. It is home to a growing collection of portraits. Our exhibitions include painting, sculpture, caricature, photography and new media. These portraits of members of our society spur us into thinking about what it means to be New Zealanders – perhaps even to wonder if there is a character that is particularly our own.

The New Zealand Portrait Gallery Te Pūkena Whakaata is an art gallery located in Wellington, New Zealand, in the historic Waterfront Shed 11.
