What a find at the arts center. Head to Rutherfords den and see the history of one of our most famous scientists. This was part of his upbringing and helped him become who he was. Lots of educational information on the main floor. Head to another level and see the basement he spent time in and then head to the classroom with the original floors and graffiti in the desks. Amazing and free..

Really nice free museum in the city centre. There is so much information and interactive displays in a small space, it's really worth visiting.

Small but well considered museum devoted to New Zealans's most distinguished citizen. Science well explained and easily understood.

A fitting tribute to one of the greats of nuclear physics. Exhibits explained the impact and relevance of his work in a non-technical manner providing excellent intellectual access to the general public.

I've been here 5 times now. 4 times to look at everything and 1 time to photograph it. Lovely lady hosting the museum. Beautifully preserved architecture. Loved the squeaky steps in the lecture theater!

Great place to know about the Ernest Rutherford The Second Newton". There are so many stuffs which was used by Rutherford during his masters in Canterbury University and about his life. If you are a science lover than this is the place in Christchurch you must visit."

Excellent interactive exhibition. Good fun for 30-40 minutes or so to explore. Was nice as an engineer being able to explain some cool physics concepts to my less-sciency partner with the different exhibits. The model train that was given to Rutherford's grandson in his honour, with videos of the kid playing with the model, was a super cool and tangible piece of history to engage with!
