Christchurch's Canterbury Museum has a very good central museum with multiple sections all worth seeing.
The section on Mauri started with their early lives:

sadly they hunted the Moa to extinction


They had a very nice section on their sacred stone, the Kura Pounamu:






One corner had a nice section on a house filled with pretty shells:




Another section showed the old streets:


The 2nd floor talked about the antarctic expeditions that have been launched from NZ's Christchurch:




Other random sections:






the Kakapo, the world's biggest parrot, is quite cute


All it all, it was worth a good 4H, and was well worth a good donation (entrance is free) |
