Puke Ariki

Puke Ariki is a ground breaking knowledge centre where museum, library and visitor information are united to tell the stories of Taranaki - past, present and future.

The quest for knowledge is so important that people throughout Taranaki and New Zealand have embraced the spirit of Puke Ariki, the result being an inspiring, two-wing complex that soars high in the heart of New Plymouth.

This knowledge centre is the first of its kind in New Zealand and is a leader of centres of this type internationally.
