Whanganui is a historic river city located on the west coast of New Zealand's North Island, at the mouth of the Whanganui River. The city has a rich cultural heritage, particularly significant to the local Māori iwi (tribes), and holds an important place in New Zealand's artistic and cultural landscape. The Whanganui River, the country's longest navigable waterway, has played a crucial role in the region's development and was historically a major transport route.

The city is known for its well-preserved Victorian and Edwardian architecture, particularly along Victoria Avenue, reflecting its colonial past. Whanganui has earned recognition as a center for arts and culture, hosting numerous galleries, studios, and the Sarjeant Gallery Te Whare o Rehua, which houses a significant collection of New Zealand and international art. The city's glass art scene has also gained national prominence, with several working studios and the New Zealand Glassworks facility contributing to its creative identity.
