Now in its fourth year, our much-loved PLAY exhibition returns just in time for the winter school holidays - kicking off with a Family Fun Day on June 28 at He Waka Tuia!

This year’s exhibition features 9 vibrant and interactive zones designed to ignite creativity, imagination and joy. Whether you're a curious tamariki, a rangatahi bursting with ideas, or simply young at heart, PLAY invites you to express your creativity, stretch your artistic muscles, and explore the exciting intersection of contemporary art and technology

New to PLAY? You're in for a treat - free to enter, this exhibition champions informal, play-based fun. It’s a space for whānau to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy quality time together, free from screens and the distractions of everyday life.

Come and be present. Get creative. And rediscover the joy of play.

We can’t wait to see you.
