About the event

Quake City free weekend
The hugely popular 'Quake City' exhibition, which tells stories from the Canterbury earthquakes, will be free to visit on Saturday 9 August and Sunday 10 August.

Canterbury Museum’s special exhibition leads visitors through the first earthquake of 4 September 2010, the widespread destruction and rescue efforts of 22 February 2011 through to the ongoing recovery and rebuild. See some of the defining objects from this time, including the top of the Christ Church Cathedral spire and the railway station clocks that stopped when the earthquakes struck.

Supported by major sponsor Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake.
