Jack Trolove - Keening
ART GALLERY | UNTIL 29 APRIL | FREE
Jack Trolove makes large-scale gestural paintings that he thinks of as “second skins for us to feel through”. Using swathes of oil paint, in thick lumps and thin stretches, he makes marks that mimic the processes which occur during the shifting, liminal states we experience in our lives – like when we’re ‘falling apart’ with grief or falling in love. This show is a celebration of paint’s mysterious ability to carry feeling.
Until 13 March 2022Curious Contraptions
Dozens of interactive gizmos and gadgets await you in the Atrium, downstairs in the main museum building. They were made by the Cabaret Mechanical Theatre, a UK maker collective that brings engineering and sculpture together to create the whimsical and wonderful. Entry is by donation.

Step into Ruby’s Slippers with the first episode of our new mini-series. Palmy’s own RubyDax joins collections manager Cindy to explore Te Manawa’s much-loved treasure trove of shoes from days gone by. Episode one’s dainty little number may have walked up the aisle for the last time but it’s still got a tale to tell! #PN150
