Aigantighe is pronounced "egg and tie" and in Scottish Gaelic translates as "at home". Aigantighe Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden was given to the city of Timaru as an art museum in 1956, and is now acclaimed as one of the best in the country, housing New Zealand, Asian, Pacific and European art works from the 16th Century to present day. A sculpture garden was put in place after an International Stone Carving Symposium in 1990. Additional to its own extensive collection, it also hosts several touring exhibitions annually.
