In 1912, Henry Sarjeant left a huge sum of money – the equivalent of over $70 million in today’s terms – to establish a gallery “as a means of inspiration for ourselves and those who come after us” and following a two year build the Sarjeant Gallery opened in 1919.
105 years later, and following a decade-long redevelopment project, Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Gallery is proudly open again at Pukenamu Queen’s Park. The heritage building has been earthquake strengthened, lovingly restored and extended with the addition of a new modern wing called Te Pātaka o Tā Te Atawhai Archie John Taiaroa, dedicated to Tā Te Atawhai Archie John Taiaroa KNZM, the loved and respected kaumātua and inspirational leader from the Whanganui river.
Now holding a nationally significant permanent collection of more than 8,000 items spanning four centuries of European and New Zealand art history, Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Gallery hosts a dynamic programme of exhibitions and events.
Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Gallery is an important community asset that can be accessed for free by locals and visitors alike.
We look forward to welcoming you.
