Canterbury Museum
Listed under Museums in Christchurch, New Zealand.
If you want to know about Christchurch history this is the place to come – from the Maori groups to the settlers to the great Antarctic explorers Scott and Shackleton, to more modern adventurers and recent events in the city's history – here are over two million artefacts commemorating these lives and others.
