The Museum, government buildings, Canterbury, New Zealand, 1868. A '...view of that portion of the Government buildings at Christchurch which contains the collections forming the Canterbury Museum, for which the province is indebted solely to the exertions of Dr. Haast, the Government geologist. The photograph of the building is...by Mr. D. L. Mundy, and shows that the young settlement of Canterbury makes rather ambitious pretensions in the architecture of its public buildings'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
