Housed in a heritage red-brick warehouse on the waterfront, this estimable gallery presents a diverse range of NZ portraiture and caricature from its own collection, plus frequently changing guest exhibitions. It's New Zealand history as told through the faces of its people – which all sounds a bit serious, but there's plenty of levity here too.
