Upcoming exhibitions

Sculpture Terrace

Two new intriguing works are soon coming to the Sculpture Terrace. Ronnie van Hout explores the childhood memory of his father’s shed − one that he always kept locked. And Seung Yul Oh’s six almost 2 metre high, egg-shaped sculptures are designed to take advantage of Wellington’s wind! Able to flex and sway, they will enliven the courtyard space with movement and sound.
