There is plenty to see in this well laid out museum with static displays of early life to furniture through the ages and a mock up street. Entrance is free and the attraction is close to the city tram way route.

This museum in CHCH is a great visit, and it covers a lot about NZ's part in exploration od the Antarctic. There is also a replica of early Christchurch and a heap of Maori artefacts. For a quick concise overall outlook on the history of this area of NZ, GO!

It was a great insight into local history, but not a modern museum. However I understand Christchurch has other stuff to concentrate on. I really loved the museum.

My wife and spent a couple of hours in the museum and found it both interesting and informative. Well worth visiting. Small donation requested on entering.
