About Eastern Southland Gallery
Address: 14 Hokonui Dr, Gore 9710
Nicknamed the 'Goreggenheim' by Saatchi & Saatchi boss Kevin Roberts, the Eastern Southland Gallery is a regional public art museum, situated in the Arts and Heritage Precinct of Gore's central business district. Established in a former Carnegie Library building in 1984, the Gallery is a successful adaptive re-use of a significant historic Southland landmark. The original handsome brick library building was funded with a grant of PS2,000 from famous Scottish philanthropist Andrew Carnegie and designed by prominent Invercargill architect ER Wilson.
