Systems are in place and regular checks show no significant movement of Whanganui s 100-year-old Sarjeant Gallery, now in the full swing of redevelopment.
The Sarjeant Gallery redevelopment project involves earthquake-strengthening of the existing heritage building and construction of a new wing – Pataka o Sir Te Atawhai Archie John Taiaroa, named in honour of the much loved Whanganui kaumātua.
