Arts and culture

The Christchurch City Council is a strong supporter of the arts within our city adding not only to our identity but reflecting who we are.

Find out about our links with the Antarctic as an official gateway to the great white continent. Explore some of our older buildings, learn something of our cultural heritage, and find out about museums and public art and artefacts.

Visit Christchurch City Libraries, the Canterbury Museum or the Christchurch Art Gallery and  enjoy discovering something of Christchurch’s artistic and cultural heritage.
