Looking out through the windows of Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu (New Zealand).... This $47.5 million facility opened in 2003 features two floors of exhibition space, two educational activity areas, an auditorium, a café and wine bar, two retail outlets, and a Sculpture Garden. The name ‘Te Puna’ honours waipuna, the well spring (the actual artesian spring on the site) and ‘Waiwhetu’ refers to one of the tributaries in the immediate vicinity, which flows into the Avon River. ‘Waiwhetu’ may also be translated as ‘water in which stars are reflected’.. .Panasonic DMC-FZ7.. Thank you for taking a look.Any comments are most welcome and always appreciated.
