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.
A photographic exhibition by Catherine Russ recently brought one of the most iconic locations in Palmerston North into new focus.
Te Manawa has officially become the first museum in Aotearoa to be recognised as “Working to be Dementia Friendly”.

The mother of Palmerston North
19 September 2018 marked the 125th anniversary of the 1893 Electoral Act that granted New Zealand women the right to vote. To commemorate this historic occasion, Te Manawa published profiles of prominent local women at each end of those 125 years. In this article we looked at Louisa Matilda Snelson, "the Mother of Palmerston North”.
Te Manawa hosted the inaugural "Untitled" creative conference for secondary school students in 2016
