What began as a humble collection back in 1865 has transformed into a world-class center for culture, nature, and science. A lot has changed since then—and the Otago Museum now has 1.5 million objects from all over the world in its collection. Exhibits explore the world we live in from the local roots of Dunedin to the depths of outer space and more. Visitors also enjoy discovering the galleries, displays, tours, and talks with highlights, including the People of the World and the Tangata Whenua galleries, The Southern Land, Southern People Gallery, the Tropical Forest Butterfly House, the Discovery World Science Center, and the Perpetual Guardian Planetarium.
