Buller's Birds
For all the bad press Walter Buller gets for his activities as a bird stuffer you've got to hand it to him, he pulled one out of the bag with his first edition of A History of the Birds of New Zealand.
Notes
Foresight
Our predecessor, the Robert McDougall Art Gallery, opened on 16 June 1932. By co-incidence, the premises we currently occupy opened the day after.
Notes
Morose Jester
An early work by Sydney Lough Thompson (1877-1973) is a recent addition to the collection, having been left to the Gallery by generous bequest.
Notes
Stronger together
We thought those of you who kept track of Sian Torrington's Outer Spaces project in Avonside might be interested to see what she has been up to recently.
Notes

The art of marbling is alive and well in Christchurch. Well, at least among the kids that have been coming to our holiday programme.
