3.0/5
It has got exhibitions and information on many different subjects, like the flora and fauna of NZ, Maori Culture and history.
The Antarctic expeditions and even an Egyptian mummy. Recommendable, but not 'the must see'. If you have got free time to fill, it is a good option.

It tells you a lot about different types of art, the lifestyle in Christchurch and New Zealand and the Maori!
But it is so much you cannot get all the information and you get lost. But it is for free and there are some interesting things.
