What began in 1873 as Canterbury College, home to just 87 students, has evolved into a world-class institution whose teachers and students continue to have an impact on the local, national, and international stages.

Encounter the people, objects, and ideas that have driven innovation in teaching and research for 150 years and celebrate the unique character of Aotearoa New Zealand’s second-oldest university.

Curated by the UC Teece Museum as part of the UC 150 anniversary celebrations. Entry is free, and all are welcome.
