Summary
| Description |
English: The Arts Centre is one of Christchurch's most significant historic and cultural attractions and a Christchurch must visit.
The Arts Centre buildings, built between 1877 and 1923, were occupied by the University of Canterbury until it was forced through lack of space to move to a far bigger campus at Ilam. Once the site of Canterbury University, these distinctive Gothic Revival buildings house more than thirty art galleries, craft studios and shops. You can also find Rutherford's Den where the great physicist carried out some of his first experiments. Architects, Benjamin Mountfort and Samuel Hurst Seager were principally responsible for the coherent set of Gothic Revival buildings which give the Arts Centre its character. Mountfort designed the clock tower block and the Great Hall on the corner of Worcester Boulevard. Hurst Seager, the other very prominent architect of the time, linked the buildings by cloisters and quadrangles to resemble the layout of a traditional English university. The complex was damaged in the earthquakes and and has been repaired in stages. |
