Ravenscar House Museum, one of Christchurch’s finest art treasures, will be free to enjoy on Saturday 5 September and Sunday 6 September from 10 am to 5 pm each day.
Described by Stuff Travel as “one of Christchurch's most unexpected treasures”, this stunning house museum features a unique collection of Kiwi art displayed in an architectural gem.
Ravenscar House Museum is home to works by much-loved Aotearoa New Zealand artists like Frances Hodgkins, Colin McCahon, Ralph Hotere, Bill Sutton and Rita Angus. The collection of around 300 paintings and objects also features intricate glass works, beautiful furniture and ancient Roman jewellery.
The house museum itself is also a work of art, with a series of striking spaces arranged around an internal courtyard along with a landscaped garden studded with contemporary sculptures. The building’s architectural awards include best new cultural building at the World Architecture Festival in 2023 and a win at the New Zealand Architecture Awards in 2024.
