Canterbury Museum at CoCA 

Pop-up at CoCA 

Canterbury Museum's Rolleston Avenue site is undergoing a major redevelopment. The buildings are empty and the staff have moved out. We've opened a pop-up Museum on the first floor of the CoCA building at 66 Gloucester Street. 

Around half the pop-up Museum is dedicated to collection highlights and visitor favourites from the Museum’s permanent galleries. The other half displays temporary exhibitions. We open with Six Extinctions produced by Gondwana Studios.
