Step into the bold, ever changing world of contemporary New Zealand art on this immersive one hour guided tour at Toi Art in Te Papa Museum, home to the National Art Collection. You'll explore a curated selection of standout works across two levels, where monumental sculpture, moving image, embroidery, ceramics, and even a playable video game sit side by side. As you move through the galleries, you'll discover how artists since 1960 have responded to social change, cultural identity and life in modern Aotearoa.

Guided by knowledgeable hosts, you'll connect with powerful works by Maori, Pacific, Asian New Zealand and international artists, with a strong focus on women and contemporary voices. Along the way, you'll learn the stories behind recent acquisitions, collaborative projects and pieces making their Te Papa debut. Designed for those who love to see the world through fresh perspectives, this experience invites you to feel inspired by art that continues to shape our shared story.
