Mountfort and the Canterbury Museum

Explore the history of Benjamin Mountfort’s work at the Canterbury Museum at this exhibition curated by Holly Neave, which is running as part Open Christchurch, the annual festival of architectural excellence. This year the festival, presented by Te Pūtahi, commemorates the bicentenary of Mountfort’s birth. Expect an interdisciplinary exhibition of architectural material that will guide you from 1870, when the Canterbury Museum was first built, through to the present day, with the current redevelopment phase revealing glimpses of the future.
