The Rewi Alley Foundation of New Zealand collaborates with and supports the sister cities and districts of Canterbury, which have a direct and tangible link to Rewi Alley in preserving his connections within the Canterbury province.
The Christchurch China Sister Cities Committee has taken the lead in the development of a website that showcases these connections and summarises Rewi’s work in China.
Image Canterbury Museum, Christchurch, has New Zealand’s most extensive Chinese art and antiquities collection, thanks to New Zealander Rewi Alley (1897-1987). One of ‘Ten International Friends of China’, Alley gifted objects to the Canterbury Museum for nearly 60 years, from 1932.
