Founded in 1932 and named after benefactor Robert McDougall, the gallery offered visitors exhibits spanning paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts, reflecting both historical and contemporary trends. It served as an important space for community engagement with the arts until it was incorporated into the Canterbury Museum in 2014 following renovations and relocations.
