The New Zealand Portrait Gallery

Shed 11/60 Lady Elizabeth Lane, Pipitea, Wellington 6011, New Zealand

1 recommendation

Housed in Shed 11 on the waterfront — a Category 1 Historic Place designed by William Ferguson in 1904. The exhibitions change regularly and always reward a slow visit. Free entry for New Zealanders, for international visitors. The gallery captures the faces that have shaped Aotearoa, from portraits of everyday heroes to cultural icons. Intimate, beautifully curated, and one of those quiet waterfront gems most tourists walk right past.
