Canterbury Museum

Visit the Canterbury Museum Pop-Up for collection highlights and temporary exhibitions while the Rolleston Avenue site is redeveloped. Taonga (treasures) on display represents the breadth and depth of the Museum collection ranging from taxidermied animals through to historic objects from the Antarctic, Mountfort and Early Settlers galleries. Visitors can see beautiful taonga Maori and Pasifika alongside tools used by mana whenua for mahinga kai (food gathering). Two firm visitor favourites - the horse from 'The Christchurch Street' and Ivan Mauger's gold bike - are also on display.
