Puke Ariki

A STRIKING LANDMARK IN THE HEART OF NEW PLYMOUTH

World class

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

Setting an international benchmark in the delivery of information and heritage services, Puke Ariki attracts people of all ages and cultures through changing exhibitions, displays, collections, an award-winning website and interactive technology.

Puke Ariki is housed in a striking two-wing complex in the heart of the city. The New Plymouth i-SITE Visitor Information Centre is conveniently located inside the building’s main entrance, which is off St Aubyn St.

Since its opening in 2003 Puke Ariki has won multiple awards for design, delivery, technology, innovation and architecture.
