NAPIER ART GALLERY AND MUSEUM
SECOND SECTION OPENED (press association telegram.) NAPIER. April 29. The second portion of the Hawke's Bay Art Society's new art gallery and museum, which is being erected in three sections, was officially opened by Dr. W. R. B. Oliver, Director of the Dominion Museum, this evening. The society previously raised the £2600required for the first section, and the £2OOO for the latest portion was given by the Carnegie Corporation. Although the building was only begun in 1935, already it contains many valuable exhibits, including collections given, by Lady McLean and the late Mr Greacen Black, of Gisborne, in addition to a Carnegie art library valued at £1250. The sum of £SOOO is required to complete the building.
