Waikato Museum in its current building was opened in 1987. Situated back from the road and near the banks of the Waikato River the building has five levels and 12 galleries. The architect was Ivan Mercep of JASMaD (now Jasmax), Auckland, the same architect who went on to design New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa. Mercep was awarded a prestigious Gold Medal by the Institute of Architects (June 2008) for his notable career.
Dedicated to developing and promoting artists, and to growing a dynamic and supportive environment for the arts in the Waikato region.
Located in one of Hamilton's heritage buildings, this former Post Office is now a retail space and gallery. ArtsPost is regularly updated with the best in local art.
