Unwrapped Exhibition

Come and explore Pātaka Art+Museum's exhibtion about one of Porirua's longest-running business venture - Whittaker's chocolate factory.

2026 marks 130 years of Whittaker’s. What began as J.H. Whittaker’s small family business in 1896 has grown into a world-class chocolate manufacturer, still proudly family-owned four generations on and based in its original Porirua factory. 'Unwrapped: Whittaker’s since 1896' invites Chocolate Lovers behind the scenes to discover how a local maker became a global name.
