Quake City

Quake City is a unique multi-sensory exhibition about the 2010/11 Canterbury earthquakes, with an active liquefaction display as well as information about quakes and their aftermath. An extension of the Canterbury Museum, Quake City features the spire cross and the broken Rose Window from the Christchurch Cathedral. Combining tragedy, heroism, humour and tributes to volunteer groups such as the Student Volunteer Army, it even has photos of people's homemade toilets called “longdrops”! This is a must see for those who want some context to the city’s reconstruction efforts.
