Chinese New Year Family Fun!


  • New Zealand Portrait Gallery Te Pūkenga Whakaata Shed 11, 60 Lady Elizabeth Lane Wellington New Zealand (map)

We welcome the year of the Ox by being one of twelve stops on the Chinese Zodiac Trail.

Tien Wei Hee has created a colourful and fun mural of the Sheep Zodiac, on display on our rear exterior doors for the whole month of February. The Sheep is a creative and energetic zodiac, perfect for the summer and a must see on the Trail.

To accompany the Sheep Zodiac mural, Tien has been commissioned to paint another mural inside the Gallery, and has helped design two fun activity sheets for families.

Pop by the Gallery to figure out your unique Elemental Chinese Zodiac, finish an educational and creative scavenger hunt, and get creative yourselves!
