The Arts Centre Te Matatiki Toi Ora

Historic place with majestic buildings. Great atmosphere. Visited again and every time I am impressed with the building, atmosphere and exhibits. The Rutherford den is also interesting.

The architecture is beautiful but investment is needed to bring it back to its former glory.nWe saw the contemporary sculpture show- was great to see many of the pieces sold.

Interesting exhibits and shops in several of the buildings. The stories of the quake and renovation process are very interesting. Fun places to wander around and good cafe options as well.

There was arts exhibition when I visited.nLive music, shows and lively environment with some amazing boutique shops.

Gorgeous, historic and full of surprises, like an almost hidden movie theatre and a museum quality exhibit of ancient Greek and Roman artifacts that blew me and my son away. Plus great markets every week. I hear it's getting trouble funding, it would be a tragedy if it was lost. A living piece of Christchurch history.
