    The Christchurch Town Hall underwent a NZ$167 million restoration after being damaged in the earthquakes. It opened in stages with the main auditorium, foyer and function rooms in February 2019, followed by the James Hay Theatre and facilities for the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra later that year. With superb acoustics, the 2,500-seat auditorium is recognized as one of finest concert halls in the world.

    Te Toi Mana Gallery was located in the Arts Centre and, like so many other places, has become inaccessible. Māori artist Riki Manuel, who often carved there, is now setting up his own Taa Moko studio (taa moko is the art of Maori tattoo). The gallery focuses on traditional and contemporary Māori art and is a good place to find creative souvenirs and travel mementos. They plan to reopen elsewhere in the near future; contact them by email for details.
