Lonely Planet review for Arts Centre

The former Canterbury College site (later Canterbury University), with its enclave of Gothic Revival buildings, is now the excellent Arts Centre, where arts and craft outlets share the premises with cinemas, a live theatre, restaurants and cafes. Visit the workshop and gallery of Te Toi Mana for traditional and contemporary Maori carving and design. Visually Maori also showcases interesting Maori art.

    Great way to kill time when it's raining outside

    beqa recommends this,

    Beautiful mix of paintings, installations, pottery and history. Spent an hour or so wandering around when it was raining one afternoon.

    Worth a look if you're interested. Beautiful buildings, there's often markets with little stalls of lollies, homemade things and other market goods. Entry is free. It's right on top of the theater, so you can also check out what's on and go and see a play.
