The Rauora Revival Exhibition tells the story of Te Matatiki Toi Ora The Arts Centre's restoration. Hear from the people involved; see, touch and feel the materials and tools they used; and learn about the future of the revived Arts Centre.
Former home to Canterbury College and then the University of Canterbury, The Arts Centre's buildings are the largest collection of Category 1 Historic Places listed by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga.
In 2010 and 2011 twenty-two Gothic Revival buildings, dating back to 1877, were extensively damaged by the Canterbury earthquakes.
A huge 11-year project to restore them has just been completed, and this exhibition beautifully illustrates this enormous journey.
This event takes place on the first floor of the Former Boys' High Building, Te Matatiki Toi Ora The Arts Centre.
