Southland Museum and Art Gallery, Art museum and cultural center in Invercargill, New Zealand
The Southland Museum and Art Gallery occupies a 27-meter-high pyramid-shaped building on Gala Street, housing regional art and historical collections.
The institution originated from a small collection exhibited by Andrew McKenzie in 1869 before transitioning through various locations until establishing its current site in 1912.
The Māori Gallery within the museum presents the daily life in Murihiku through exhibits of traditional tools, fishing methods, and indigenous artifacts.
Since April 2018, the museum remains closed for structural improvements, with a temporary facility called Te Waka Tuia Art + Museum operating in central Invercargill.
The museum maintains a tuatarium facility from 1974 that houses over 50 tuataras, including Henry, a specimen believed to have hatched around 1900.
