About The New Zealand Portrait Gallery
The New Zealand Portrait Gallery Te PΕ«kenga 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.
We enable audiences to encounter portraits of New Zealanders who, in all their diversity, have shaped our country’s development or influenced the way we think about ourselves. Through portraiture, we offer perspectives on ourselves, our history, our creativity, and our place in the world.
The Gallery relies almost exclusively on donations from individuals and organisations for its ongoing work, and on the sponsorship of the Adam Foundation for its biennial portrait competition. We would not exist without the hard work and dedication of our many volunteers who serve on our Board of Trustees, as team members and on our committees.

β β β β β My favourite art gallery in Wellington.
It's quite compact, so you can spend time looking at each painting photo and not get overwhelmed by hundreds. They change their exhibits regularly, which is a bonus.

β β β β β Its fine. A lot crammed in to an already small space, and injudicious use of the centre of the room, made it feel cramped and forced us up close to the works. We were there to see the Cook exhibition on Hamilton East in the 1990s.
