New Zealand’s architectural symbol, the domed Parliament House in Wellington, is home to the executive wing of Parliament, known as ‘the Beehive.’ Constructed between 1969 and 1981, this distinctive building features 10 floors above ground, housing cabinet rooms and prime ministerial offices. Inside, visitors can admire murals and artworks by noted New Zealand artists, adding a cultural dimension to the political heart of the country. The Beehive’s unique design and artistic elements offer a glimpse into the nation’s governance and creative spirit.
