Welcome to The Rewi Alley Museum

A new cultural landmark in Christchurch celebrating the remarkable life and global impact of Rewi Alley — writer, humanitarian, and bridge-builder between New Zealand and China.

Rewi Alley

The most famous New Zealander in China – Rewi Alley contributed perhaps more than any other foreigner to the Chinese revolution. He was the founder and inspiration for the New Zealand China Friendship Society, dedicating 60 years of his life to his adopted country, while remaining a New Zealander at heart. Rewi organised thousands of industrial co-operatives during the war against Japan. He also pioneered technical training schools, the most famous at Shandan in the Gobi Desert.
