Te Manawa Museum of Art

- A museum of the people

It is people who make Te Manawa Museum of Art, Science and Heritage special. It is a place where diverse communities can break down traditional museum barriers, mingle and bring new ideas to life. Te Manawa is a unique destination, a custodian of important collections of taonga Māori, New Zealand art, and social and natural history. Visitors can step into the past and take part in its stories, or immerse themselves in the science that makes our everyday world tick.

If people are the heart of Te Manawa, then exhibitions represent the mind. An ever-changing calendar of exhibitions explores the past, provides information for the present and asks questions about the future. Five dedicated art galleries present a cultural programme of expression from photography and sculpture through to works by contemporary Māori artists. Art, science and heritage collide in inspiring and surprising ways.

Te Manawa’s semi-permanent exhibitions have a strong Manawatū focus. Te Awa – The River follows the Manawatū River from its source high in the ranges, through the city to the sea. Te Rangi Whenua shares the stories of iwi groups in the Manawatū, Rangitīkei and Horowhenua regions, and Manawatū Journeys follows the region’s development from settlement to the present day. All have free entry.

Te Manawa is also home to Palmerston North’s historic Santa’s Cave. A seasonal landmark for more than a century, Santa’s Cave is a kitschy romp through the North Pole imagined by generations of modelmakers and craftsmen. Te Manawa is one of Palmerston North’s most stimulating and attractive venues located in the cultural heart of the city. The Te Manawa shop stocks a range of gift items including books, cards, local art and educational toys and puzzles. It also features New Zealand rugby merchandise (supporting the New Zealand Rugby Museum) and sometimes a piece of a former exhibition. Take the time to browse and find something a little different. Te Manawa

Museum of Art Science and Heritage is open daily (closed Good Friday, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day). Free General Admission, charges may apply to some exhibitions. Visit www. temanawa.co.nz for visitor information.
