Culture 101

Regional Wrap: Sarjeant Gallery wins major architecture prize

23 Nov 2025

Description

This time last year we took Culture 101 on the road to the new, revamped Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Gallery in Whanganui. To those unfamiliar with this Whanganui landmark, the gallery was founded in 1912 by Henry Sarjeant who left a huge sum of money - the equivalent of over $70 million in today's terms - to establish the space "as a means of inspiration for ourselves and those who come after us". After extensive renovations to restore, upgrade, earthquake strengthen and add an extension to the 106-year-old building, the gallery reopened this time last year. Now hot off the press - the gallery's extension has just WON the coveted Supreme Heritage Architectural award. So, we thought it was an excellent time to check in with Gallery Director Andrew Clifford - for our regional wrap.
