The Southland Museum and Art Gallery, with its distinctive pyramid shape, encases the original 1940s brick structure, built as a Centennial project. The foundation stone was laid by Sir Robert Anderson in February 1941. The museum has the largest public display of live tuatara in the world. Henry, at over 110 years, is the oldest. And it is currently closed.
The Museum is closed however the tuatara are safe and well.
