What you should know about PAtaka Art + Museum

Art in Porirua, Museum in Porirua

We’re a team of enthusiastic, creative individuals committed to delivering high quality, engaging education programmes and events. During normal term time we offer students of all ages a unique educational experience to reflect on one of the most culturally diverse cities in New Zealand Porirua. Our teacher trained education staff have created positive, relevant and fun education programmes for your class, based on your curriculum requirements. PATAKA Art Museum, which has become the cultural heart of Porirua City, opened in 1998.
In the 12 years since then the museum and gallery, which is about 15 minutes drive from central Wellington, has developed a reputation for showcasing the best in contemporary Maori and Pacific Arts, as well as contemporary New Zealand, Asian and international arts culture. By 1997 the museum was outgrowing its site at Takapuwahia, and a local community art gallery, Page 90, run by the Mana Community Arts Council since 1990, also needed more space and funding to expand. The new museum and gallery was set up temporarily in the old Porirua Museum building while the Page 90 site, on the corner of Parumoana and Norrie streets, was revamped and greatly expanded, including building a second floor, storerooms, education centre, museum courtyard, workshops, the Japanese Garden, Community Meeting Room and extensions to the library. The building had been named Te Marae O Te Umu Kai O Hau and the new museum and gallery was officially opened in September 1998.
