Alright, check this out! There's this seriously cool, full-size wharenui that's popping up in Canterbury! Get this – it's not made of wood, but totally crocheted by hand using get this... FIVE THOUSAND balls of super bright, colorful yarn! It's already been blowing minds all over New Zealand, and now it's our turn, Cantabrians! You gotta see this awesome mix of classic Māori carving vibes but done up in neon wool. It's pretty epic!
This museum is a lovely place with excellent service. However, it is currently undergoing renovations and will not reopen until 2027 or 2029—I can’t recall the exact year. The exhibits feature incredibly detailed and unique pieces, especially for those who appreciate pottery. While it might not be worth a dedicated trip if you’re not a fan of this art form, its central location makes it convenient to visit if you’re nearby. Overall, it’s worth a look when it reopens.
Took a look around the small pop up they have until the main museum opens up again and it was a lovely discovery.nnThe marae was an exceptional treat.
Had a brilliant time visiting the pop up museum and seeing the wharenui in person. What an absolute stunning piece the staff were super friendly and loved to chat and help. They kept the exhibit running nice and smoothly. Was beautiful quiet place to reflect when I went :
Great free museum. Lots of cultural elements including historical artifacts from Antarctica exploration. Large are for rotating exhibits as well.nNot a big place, so it can easily be seen in conjunction with other sightseeing.
