In Disaster Lessons from New Zealand: Part Two, Sarah Murray, Curatorial Manager at the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch, New Zealand discusses the reopening of the Canterbury Museum following the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. The Canterbury Museum is working to help the Christchurch community heal by providing interpretation for the recent quakes through a permanent exhibit, Quake City, and a temporary exhibition Hearts for Christchurch.
This interview took place following Sarah’s presentation at the Yukon Heritage and Museums Association’s workshop, Cultural Organizations and Traumatic Events, in May 2016.
