Tūrangawaewae: Art and New Zealand

Tūrangawaewae spans historical portraiture to contemporary practice, with art works that inspire and provoke, question and console. Tūrangawaewae are the places, communities, and ideas that give us a sense of belonging.

Drawn from Te Papa's extensive collection of New Zealand painting, sculpture, and photography, Tūrangawaewae: Art and New Zealand explores questions of art, identity, and cross-cultural exchange. 

The exhibition features works by Rita Angus, Colin McCahon, Shane Cotton, Gottfried Lindauer, Len Lye, and Robyn Kahukiwa and many other iconic New Zealand artists.
