The Otago Museum shares the natural, cultural and scientific stories of Otago, Aotearoa New Zealand and the world. The museum will be 150 years old in 2018, although many of the items in the collection are far older. The collection includes over 1,5 million objects, from around the globe. The objects are used to tell visitors more about the world, from Dunedin to deep space, from millions of years ago to envelope pushing research, through galleries, exhibitions, displays, tours and talks.
