Two years after Invercargill's two main cultural institutions were forced to close due to seismic concerns, a transitional Art and Museum space is about to open its doors.
While the fate of the Invercargill Public Art Gallery and Southland Museum and Art Gallery buildings remain uncertain, staff from both have been collaborating on a joint space where art and historic objects can be put back on display.
They're also keen to get the public involved in the He Waka Tuia Transitional Art + Museum space.
Lynn Freeman speaks to David Dudfield from the Southland Museum and Art Gallery, and to Gemma Baldock from Invercargill Public Art Gallery ahead of the planned 12th of September big reveal of the transitional space - Covid-19 alert levels permitting.
