Located beside the Queens Gardens on the edge of downtown Nelson, The Suter Art Gallery is one of the oldest galleries in New Zealand, with a rich history dating back to the late 19th century, when it was founded in memory of the second bishop of Nelson. It now serves as a contemporary gallery, 150-seat theatre, inspiring education space, as well as a popular café and a gallery store filled with beautiful objects crafted by local artists.
