This event is for SHIFT: Urban Art Takeover GIFT TICKETS ONLY. Please click here for regular tickets.

Urban artists have taken over Canterbury Museum! With the Museum’s redevelopment not far away, most of the complex is empty and we’ve handed it over to urban artists from Aotearoa New Zealand and overseas to use as their canvas.

They’ve created a pathway of art across five floors and over 35 spaces, including storerooms, offices and other parts of the Museum that are normally off-limits. Their artworks, which range from traditional graffiti to murals, paste-ups, projections and more, are inspired by the Museum and the taonga (treasures) it cares for.

Here you can purchase tickets that are not time-limited which can be sent to friends and whānau as gifts. After ordering, you'll be emailed the tickets and you can then forward the email to the intended recipient, or print it out to gift in person.
