Artist Matt Pine can't actually remember when his artwork "Cone Piece" was taken down.
But it's been nearly two decades since one of Whanganui's most significant public artworks was last hanging in the foyer of the Whanganui War Memorial Centre.
"They were taken down to supposedly clean the ceiling and the interior and they never put them back up," Pine said.
