Art Galleries

Our galleries feature exhibitions showcasing original art by local and New Zealand artists as well as national touring exhibitions. There is always something of interest on show.

Booking an exhibition

Taupō Museum has two spaces to hire for art exhibitions - an art gallery and the Niven room. We ask interested artists to forward a proposal regarding their exhibition and have outlined some guidelines to help you provide the information we require:
