The Wairau Māori Art Gallery, will be the world’s first contemporary gallery dedicated to Māori artists whose exhibitions will be curated by professional Māori curators. This gallery is for the permanent promotion of indigenous art in Aotearoa New Zealand.
The name Wairau is the translation of ‘one hundred waters’ in Te Reo Māori, the same meaning as ‘Hundertwasser’ in English.
