Sarjeant Gallery redevelopment project videos

The Sarjeant Gallery Te Whare o Rehua Whanganui has been working with local film makers Double Farley to make a series of short films on the progress of the Sarjeant Gallery Redevelopment Project. These videos feature the consultants and heritage specialists working on the Redevelopment.

Every week, the Sarjeant Gallery redevelopment project team, based across Whanganui, Wellington, New Plymouth and Palmerston North, receives a digital time-lapse video of the previous weeks progress on site. The video camera is installed high on the band-room building, looking to the rear of the Sarjeant and as such, has a perfect view of the progress on the new wing and collection store.
