Otago Museum Indigenous Culture Exploration

#November Good Places 2025 The Otago Museum is located in downtown Dunedin, next to the University of Otago. It is one of the largest museums in New Zealand, with its superb natural specimens and human and historical collections. 🐦 One of the strongest highlights in the pavilion is the insect, bird and marine invertebrate specimens from Transformation International. You can also see the extinct, non-flying New Zealand endemic moa Moa, which is absolutely eye-opening ~🦤 The museum has 7 fixed exhibitions, including: - Characteristic animal specimens - Geology and natural history of the Otago region - Maori Culture & Pacific Islands Culture - Maritime history of New Zealand There are also permanent themes such as science museum, tropical rainforest, and planetarium. Each exhibition area has a super Feel, super suitable for family exploration. The collection is rich and educational! It is recommended that you reserve half a day to visit slowly, for those of you who want to learn more about New Zealand's culture and natural environment ✅Address: 419 Great King Street, Dunedin 9016, New Zealand ⏰ Opening hours: 10:00–17:00 year-round ✨Recommend you not to miss the exhibition of indigenous costumes in the museum, plenty of light, and beautiful photos! Western-style modern architecture with outdoor green trees, great for photography Feel the shock of history and nature on a must-do trip to Dunedin!
