Puke Ariki is an exciting achievement in amalgamation of museum, library and visitor information research centre in the world today. Described by New Zealand's Prime Minister as "setting new bench marks for the delivery of regional heritage and information services in New Zealand", it has won multiple awards for design, delivery, technology, innovation and architecture. It is a first-stop for all visitors to Taranaki.

Puke Ariki is a portal to the past, present and future and tells the stories of Taranaki through changing exhibitions, displays, collections, an exceptional award winning website and interactive technology. Puke Ariki engages and informs people of all ages and cultures and offers the convenience of accessibility by having New Plymouth's I Site at the main entrance.
