About This Museum

Tucked away on Tancred Street in Hokitika, a town famed for its wild West Coast spirit, the Wilderness Gallery feels like a quiet revelation. Stepping inside is to be immediately immersed in the raw, untamed soul of Aotearoa. The air itself seems to hum with the stories held within the powerful black and white photography that lines its walls. It’s less a traditional art gallery and more a profound conversation with the land, one that lingers long after you've left.

Collection Highlights

The gallery's heart lies in its stunning monochrome prints that capture everything from the silent, ancient depths of local rainforests to the dramatic, windswept coastlines. You'll find arresting portraits of native wildlife and sweeping landscapes that feel both epic and intimately detailed.

Visitor Information

You'll find it at 29 Tancred Street, and it's the kind of place where you can easily lose an hour in quiet contemplation. Given its stellar 4.8-star rating from over a hundred visitors, it's clearly a local gem worth seeking out.

Architecture & Building

Housed in an unassuming building that reflects Hokitika's unpretentious character, the focus is squarely on what's inside rather than architectural grandeur.
