Visit Rare Creations Interactive Wooden Art Gallery in Nelson

The Interactive Wooden Art Gallery offers Contemporary Furniture and Arts from Andreas Niemann as well as other New Zealand artists, and a huge range of wooden related crafts and technical kit sets to bring back the lost creativity! Adjoining to the Gallery is the workshop where many of our wooden creations are designed and built.

Where is Rare Creations located?

They are located in Mapua, 30 minutes from Nelson on the coastal highway between Richmond and Motueka. If travelling from Nelson, take the first Mapua exit. Rare Creations Gallery is on the Mapua Drive road, to your right at the bottom of the hill. It is a large converted old apple packing shed situated right on the road, you can’t miss it!

The Interactive Area at Rare Creations is where you, your friends and your family  must do things: pushing buttons, turning handles  and spinning knobs are some of the things you will have to do to activate the toys and watch them move! It is their belief that furniture should be made and designed to last from generation to generation! So come on down to see how this unique, but high quality furniture is made.
