Tērā Puanga, tērā Matariki, ka rewa i te pae.  Nau mai, haere mai ngā hua o te tau hou!

In welcoming Puanga and Matariki, we reflect on the past, celebrate the present, and create goals to inspire ourselves this New Year. 


Welcome to the Gallery, we look forward to welcoming your class.

The Govett-Brewster Art Gallery | Len Lye Centre offers a very exciting range of education programme options, based on its exhibitions and other art events. Our programmes offer an exciting mix of hands on and gallery-based learning, and change each term or as the exhibitions change.

All of our school programmes are free, and we can cater for all ages and abilities. Please feel free to contact us on 06 759 0858 or gbeducation@govettbrewster.com if you want to discuss a school visit or access to other education programmes.

We look forward to seeing you at the Gallery!
