Attraction
Canterbury Museum
Canterbury Museum holds collections covering Canterbury's natural and human history, from Maori taonga to Antarctic exploration artefacts, and has told the region's stories for over 150 years. The main Rolleston Avenue building is currently closed for redevelopment, with exhibits shown at a pop-up site on Gloucester Street and at Quake City and Ravenscar House Museum. Check current hours before visiting, since locations vary while redevelopment is underway.
How to get there
The pop-up museum is on Gloucester Street in central Christchurch, an easy walk from Cathedral Square and within the compact central city grid. Quake City on Durham Street North and Ravenscar House Museum on Rolleston Avenue are both also inner-city sites reachable on foot from most central hotels. Public buses serve central Christchurch, and metered on-street or nearby car park buildings cover drivers. No shuttle service is needed given the central locations.
