The four art galleries host a range of exhibitions by national and international artists. The very popular community gallery showcases our local talent. Always warm and with plenty of parking, no visit to Southland is complete without visiting the Southland Museum and Art Gallery.
The Southland Museum and Art Gallery is a major museum for the region, and it holds collections of international, national and regional importance. It also offers an active programme of special exhibitions from outside the region.
