This lively and compelling story of Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Gallery begins before Henry Sarjeant had even dreamed of a ' fine art gallery' for the burgeoning small town of Whanganui. It reveals the Sarjeant Gallery's early years and its development as a collecting and exhibiting institution that is now recognised as one of New Zealand's finest. Generously illustrated with many works from the Sarjeant's rich, varied and important collection, this book places the gallery at the heart of the story of Whanganui and marks its triumphal reopening in 2024.
