New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts

Had its beginnings in 1882 when the Fine Arts Association of New Zealand was formed. In 1889 the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts was founded, having taken over the property and effects of the Fine Arts Association. In 1892 the government provided a site in Whitmore Street, Wellington, and members of the academy and the public subscribed to the cost of building a gallery in which the academy could carry out its functions, which included the teaching of art. The Whitmore Street gallery was opened as a free public gallery in 1907 and continued as such until 1936 when, having donated its building, funds, and art collection to the newly established National Art Gallery in Buckle Street, the academy was granted permanent accommodation within the new building. It was situated on the same floor as the National Gallery. The National Gallery moved out of Buckle Street to Te Papa Tongarewa in 1996, but the Academy remained until 1997. The final move came after the Academy separated completely from Te Papa Tongarewa and decisions were made as to a new location. The Academy finally moved to new premises at 1 Queens Wharf, opening on 18 February 2000.
