Rotorua's one-stop-shop for picture framing, photo art and photo restoration.

A picture is worth a thousand words. And this couldn't be truer than the evocative and uplifting photography found at Portico Gallery. Look out for the beautiful landscape photography on display on the big easel outside the front door, and find more on paper and canvas throughout the shop. They also have a range of vibrant and fun art prints by talented NZ-based artists.

Needing something framed? The team are expert at ensuring your unique pieces look their most spectacular before they hit the wall. Whether you have a clear idea of what you would like or need help figuring out where to start, they'll have lots of fun helping you find what works for you, your artwork and your home.

Pablo Picasso once said, "The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls," and a trip to the stunning Portico Gallery should feel like you've done precisely that.
