Tīrama Mai Late Nights at the Museum
The Canterbury Museum Pop-Up will be open late as part of the Tīrama Mai festival.
The Pop-Up Museum will be open late so you can experience the Museum in a whole new light.
Family fun: Matariki Scavenger Hunt and Badge Making. Take part in a Matariki-themed scavenger hunt through the Pop-Up and create your own badge to take home.
Exhibition highlight: He Riri Awatea – Filming the New Zealand Wars: Explore epic tales from Aotearoa New Zealand’s turbulent past with He Riri Awatea: Filming the New Zealand Wars. This exhibition stars a fiery blockbuster, a music video from Kiwi thrash metal band Alien Weaponry and battle scenes filmed across nearly a century.
Learn about the New Zealand Wars (1845–1872) and how they have been explored on film. Props, costumes and posters from New Zealand film history also star in the exhibition, including a carved pou and period costumes from River Queen and a film camera used by 1920s Kiwi filmmaker Rudall Hayward.
