MTG Hawke's Bay, Cultural center and museum in Napier, New Zealand.
The MTG Hawke's Bay complex includes three connected structures: an art deco building, a modernist wing, and a naturally lit gallery facing the bay.
The museum site dates back to 1865 when it began as the Hawke's Bay Philosophical and Mechanic's Institute, surviving the devastating 1931 earthquake that struck the region.
The facility maintains approximately 90,000 objects, including fine arts from national artists, historical artifacts, and Māori cultural treasures in its permanent collection.
The museum opens daily from 10:00 to 17:00 throughout the year, featuring a theatre with 330 seats for performances and a shop selling regional publications.
The Century Theatre, added in 1977 to commemorate Napier's centenary, serves as a concert chamber with entrances on both Herschell Street and Marine Parade.
