The “mother” Living Canterbury gallery is at the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch. It’s a HUGE, wonderful place, which celebrates the uniqueness of Canterbury’s natural history. It’s been on display since December 2001 – and well worth the visit for the hundreds of thousands of people who have already been through the gallery. Contact the Canterbury Museum  for more details.

There is also a transportable mini Living Canterbury display that visits North and South Canterbury during the year. Contact Sian Carvell for more details.
