Ravenscar House Museum, Art museum in Christchurch City, New Zealand.
The museum exhibits a collection of paintings, sculptures, designer furniture, and antiquities within a modern building featuring reflecting pools and vaulted ceilings.
Following the destruction of their residence in the 2011 earthquake, Jim and Susan Wakefield utilized insurance payments to construct this museum for their art collection.
The collection includes works from Frances Hodgkins, Ralph Hotere, Colin McCahon, Charles Goldie, and other notable New Zealand artists displayed in domestic settings.
Visitors can join guided tours led by knowledgeable hosts who provide detailed information about the artworks and their significance in New Zealand's artistic heritage.
The building, designed by Patterson Associates with high gables, aligns with the neo-Gothic architecture of the nearby Christchurch Arts Centre and Canterbury Museum.
