Nō te tau 2003 ka tuwhera te Puna o Waiwhetū ki Ōtautahi, hei whakakapinga mō te Taiwhanga Toi o Robert McDougall (Robert McDougall Art Gallery), te whare toi mai anō i 1932. Nā te pakupaku o tērā whare kāore i taea ngā whakaaturanga toi te whakatū. Hāunga anō te taiwhanga hōu, koia te taiwhanga toi nui rawa i Te Wai Pounamu. E rua ngā papa taiwhanga whakaatu, he wāhi mō te ako, he whakarauika, tae atu ki tētahi wāhi takoto noa ana ngā auahatanga me ngā momo whakairo. I ngāueuetia te tūāpapa o te taiwhanga i te rūwhenua i te marama o Huitanguru i te tau 2011. No te tau 2015 ka tuwhera ano te whare.

There has been no formal confirmation of the gallery opening this year. It should read "due to open in 2015"
