A major new book showcasing the best of New Zealand’s national art collection, from the iconic to the little-known.

The evolution of Te Papa’s art collection closely reflects the story of Aotearoa New Zealand itself – its places, its people, and its developing sense of identity. Art at Te Papa spans the Museum’s collection, and is a treasure to inspire and inform all New Zealanders and lovers of art. A deluxe, hardback, hand-numbered edition is also available.
