The Sarjeant Gallery redevelopment project is significant for Whanganui’s future and continued growth. Just like our wonderful Museum, and NZ Glassworks, these facilities are all open 7 days a week and provide a place for our visitors and community to visit.

Once the Sarjeant Gallery redevelopment project is completed in 2024, we will see incredible interest from around New Zealand. Busloads of visitors will come.

Due to COVID and increased building costs, plus increased complexity in the earthquake strengthening, the project cost has risen. Council will have to fund any shortfall, but we are still fundraising and at this stage Council’s commitment will be under $10m of a $64M project.
