Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu is in a striking building in the heart of Christchurch. We pride ourselves on being an important part of the cultural life of this city and of New Zealand as a whole – an attraction to which you'll return again and again. We are very proud of the many and varied exhibitions and other programmes we offer and hope you are enticed to visit, both in person or online.

This gallery is important within New Zealand's network of galleries and museums. With well over 6,000 works of art acquired since our foundation in 1932 our collection is important and varied. Canterbury is a region with a strong history of pioneering past and committed current artists – so it's also one of the finest in New Zealand.
