The museum is known for its collection of classical antiquities, and the website at http://www.teecemuseum.nz/ provides the visiting information. New Zealand sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, so small earthquakes are common, a fact that has shaped how Christchurch's institutions have rebuilt and presented themselves.

Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so travellers should plan around the reversed calendar. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country, including on street signs around the central city.
