WAI-ITI RD
HISTORIC HOUSE & PUBLIC ART COLLECTION & SCULPTURE GARDEN

Did you know: Aigantighe is Scottish Gaelic for ’home of welcome’ and pronounced Aig-an-tighe. The historic house was built in 1905 and was home to the Grant family until 1956, when they generously bequeathed the house and gardens to the people of Timaru. Art collections were donated by the Grant family and the South Canterbury Arts Society forming the nucleus of the Gallery’s own collection, which has since grown to over 1800 artworks.

Pop in and view the rich collection alongside artworks by local, national, and international artists. Find sculptures in the Garden
