Visitors even have the rare chance to see the Museum animated after dark through community performance, winter Shakespeare or ‘Nightlight’ events popular with the whole family. A partnership with Centrepoint Theatre, the only professional theatre outside the main centres, opens the back-of-house as ‘The Dark Room’ for a “black box” theatre experience. New life and energy is continually being added to the complex’s eclectic spaces.
Te Manawa is one of Palmerston North’s most stimulating and attractive venues located in the cultural heart of the city. Its facilities can cater anything from small functions to hosting nearly 200 people. The Te Manawa shop stocks a range of gift items including books, cards, local art and educational toys and puzzles. You can also pick up New Zealand rugby merchandise (supporting the New Zealand Rugby Museum) or even score a piece of a former exhibition. Take the time to browse and find something a little different.
Te Manawa Museum of Art Science and History 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, venue hire, or the latest information on current and upcoming attractions.
