The countdown is on!

The Dowse >> JULY 2006

The countdown is on!

The stunning new Dowse prepares to re-launch in style in February 2007.
The Dowse closed it's doors for a major building redevelopment in September 2005. Since then demolition and construction has forever changed the face of much-loved Dowse - and definitely for the better! The Athfield Architects design includes over 60% more exhibition space, multipurpose indoor & outdoor facilities, and a spectacular cafe and destination store. The exciting opening programme of exhibitions and events is shaping up to bring you the very best in New Zealand and international creativity and innovation - from ceramics to cyber-art, photography to fashion, fine art to family fun - as always there will be something for everyone.

The new Dowse Cafe / Restaurant
