The long road back home to Te Manawa
We sat down for a chat with Te Manawa's new chief executive Susanna Shadbolt.
Luit Bieringa was a figure of immense stature in Aotearoa New Zealand’s contemporary cultural environment, and Director at the Manawatū Art Gallery from 1971 until 1979.
Autumn is the season of renewal at the Te Manawa Art Gallery. As leaves outside turn yellow and fall, our exhibition spaces are blooming with new and exciting artworks.
Palmerston North’s Te Manawa Museum has appointed Susanna Shadbolt as its new Chief Executive, taking the reins from Andy Lowe who departed in February.

Simon Johnson explores the background of a mechanical zebra toy in the Te Manawa collection. This toy and many like it once dominated European toy markets in the first half of the 20th century - but now they are rare items.
