City Gallery

The City Gallery Wellington was established in 1980 as a non-collecting, exhibition-based gallery. In 1993 it moved into the former Wellington Public Library building in Civic Square. It is managed by the Wellington Museums Trust, which also runs the Museum of Wellington, Wellington Cable Car Museum and several other small museums.
