Dominion Museum Building

The New Zealand Dominion Museum Building was completed in 1936 and originally housed the National Museum and the National Art Gallery. The building is now part of the Wellington Campus and houses a number of unique event spaces.

Located behind the National War Memorial at Pukeahu Park, the prestigious location and proximity to Wellington CBD have made the Dominion Museum one of Wellington’s most sought-after venues.

The Great Hall is a single large ballroom with a very high ceiling stud. Suited for festivals and trade shows, launch events and seated gala dinners.

Tea Gardens – the original Tea Rooms at the Dominion Museum. This 300 capacity venue retains the original wooden floors, royal Daulton wall tiles, large art-deco windows, and high-vaulted ceilings.

Testimonials

“In February, we hosted a weeklong workshop at the Massey Albany campus. Our workshop had both online and in-person presentations, as well as breakout workgroups. The room facilities were well-equipped with the technology needed for the presentations; and the space was more than sufficient for the participants to comfortably work in their breakout rooms. The on-site staff were extremely responsive to needs and were a joy to work with during the workshop. In leading up to the course, they were reliable communicators in helping us plan out the week. We definitely hope to be able to run future events here, as the service and venue were terrific. Many thanks to Andrea and her team!”

“We hired the Massey AT2 theatre for a pole competition and are so glad we did. Andrea and her team were really helpful with providing all the information required and ensuring we had what we need for the day to run smoothly. The venue itself had all we needed in terms of audience seating, backstage options and a foyer for guests to hang out prior to doors opening. We look forward to using the space again in future”

“I would highly recommend using Massey University as a venue, not only does it offer fantastic facilities, but having the venue facilitated by [Hospitality Services] has made it a flawless experience.”

“I would like to thank you so much for the catering and the effort you went to, to make our conference a success. The food was amazing & presented beautifully.”

“The service that we had from Massey Venues went above and beyond expectations. Massey exceeded my expectations in every way.”
