About

In North Island, Whanganui Arts @ the Centre is a gallery at 19 Taupo Quay, Whanganui 4500, New Zealand. Its 4.6 out of 5 average from 37 reviews places it among the better-regarded galleries in the region.

The gallery occupies a spot on Taupo Quay in Whanganui, a city on the island's western side. Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth all lie within reach, so it can be folded into a wider North Island itinerary. First-time visitors can expect a compact gallery space where local work is shown. The website at http://www.whanganuiarts.com/ carries further detail.

English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country. New Zealand sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, so small earthquakes are common.

Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast. The 37 reviews behind that 4.6 average reflect a gallery with a loyal following in Whanganui.
