Held around Whanganui's city centre at almost all times. Much of it is student work from UCOL, and the best exhibitions usually take place in the acclaimed Whanganui School of Design, which has a very nice tight-knit staff that can hold very interesting conversations. However, don't ask Tanya Roberson about dogs or memes, you'll be there for hours.
An extensive collection of natural and human artifacts with a strong regional emphasis.
Well known for its large collection of British, European and NZ art.
Has both indoor and outdoor gardens with some bush walks.
Contains fascinating displays of river-related artefacts and photographs of the riverboat era. Also offers river cruises in a paddle steamer on Saturdays 11AM & 2PM in Jan - Mar.
A state-integrated coeducational boarding, secondary school that was founded in 1854, which has a beautiful campus with some attractive old brick buildings. You cannot drive through the grounds during school hours as the school's main thoroughfare - the only one wide enough for cars - is used heavily throughout the day.
Tram rides on Sundays and some holidays.
