Canterbury Museum is currently running from its Pop-Up, where the Collection Highlights are free to see, with donations appreciated. Photos and video are welcome as long as they are for your own use.
The Lux Espresso Cafe on the ground floor serves barista-made espresso and fresh cabinet food, but it opens on weekdays only, so a weekend visit means sorting out food elsewhere.
The bus is the simplest way in: Christchurch’s bus service runs into the central city, and the central bus terminus is a short walk from the Pop-Up. Drivers can use Pay and Display parking on the adjacent streets or the paid car park at Christchurch Art Gallery.
