Stuart Memorial, Heritage memorial in Queens Gardens, Dunedin, New Zealand
The Stuart Memorial features a bronze statue depicting Reverend Dr. Donald McNaughton Stuart seated on a curule chair, mounted on a granite and andesite plinth.
The memorial was unveiled in June 1898 following community fundraising efforts, marking the first major civic commission given to a New Zealand artist, William Leslie Morison.
The memorial honors Donald Stuart, who served as Knox Church minister and University of Otago Chancellor, officiating marriages between different denominations in the community.
The monument stands seven meters tall after its elevation in 1922, making it visible from multiple vantage points within the Queens Gardens landscape.
Six thousand mourners participated in Stuart's funeral procession in 1894, with up to twenty thousand spectators lining the streets of Dunedin.
