17 Aotea Centre in Auckland, New Zealand

Aotea Centre is a special event complex containing the ASB Theatre (2,139 seats), the intimate Herald Theatre (186 seats) plus several banquet rooms. A prominent feature of Aotea Square is the artwork Waharoa. This means “gateway” in the Māori language. The 23 foot high, macrocarpa wood (Monterey cypress) arch was sculpted by Selwyn Muru. The symbols depict various deities including the god of the seas, forests, elements and planets. The namesake for the center and square is Motu Aotea which is the Great Barrier Island near the northeastern tip of New Zealand.
