Featuring 38 works of wearable art from around the world, World of WearableArt – Up Close showcases the most breath-taking creations from New Zealand’s very own World of WearableArt.
Discover the jaw-dropping detail and unconventional creativity of wearable art.

The exhibition runs 12 Dec 2020 – 14 Feb 2021.
For a strictly limited season only.
