10-Year Quake Anniversary

'Quake City', Canterbury Museum's special exhibition about the Canterbury Earthquakes, will be free to visit on 22 February to mark the 10-year anniversary of the 2011 earthquake thanks to supporting from major sponsor The Earthquake Commission (EQC).

All Cantabrians are welcome to visit 'Quake City' and reflect on the decade since the February quake.

'Quake City' has had some updates ahead of the 10-year anniversary. Additions include a sculptural wall of orange road cones in the entryway and a slideshow of buildings, artworks and streetscapes showing how Ōtautahi Christchurch has changed in the decade since the earthquakes.

A number of Cantabrians who recount their experiences on 22 February 2011 in the film 12.51, which runs in the exhibition, have been reinterviewed and feature in a new short film reflecting on how their lives have changed in the last decade.
