City Gallery Wellington, Art gallery in Te Ngākau Civic Square, Wellington, New Zealand.
City Gallery Wellington occupies a two-story Art Deco building with seven exhibition spaces. These rooms showcase contemporary works by artists from New Zealand and around the world.
The building opened in 1940 as Wellington's former Central Library, designed by Gummer and Ford. It received Category 2 Historic Place status in 2015.
The space operates as an open artistic platform, rotating exhibitions to give room to different creative directions. Visitors can discover varied perspectives on contemporary art throughout the year.
The building sits in central Wellington and offers free entry to exhibitions. On site, there is a design shop with local products and the Nikau Café for refreshments and breaks.
The facade displays characteristic geometric patterns and symmetrical window arrangements from the Art Deco period of the 1940s. These architectural details make the building a notable example of the style from that era.
