Special exhibition launching to before Canterbury Museum closes

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 25 January 2023

International artists have joined some of Aotearoa's leading artists to create a special exhibition in a nearly empty Canterbury Museum.

SHIFT: Urban Art Takeover, begins on January 28th and runs through to April 11 when the museum closes for five years for redevelopment.

Artists have been creating urban art inside the Museum using the space for their inspiration.
