Otago Museum is more than a museum.

Home to the biggest science centre in New Zealand, the only 3D planetarium in Australasia, eight free galleries with a collection of 1.5 million… and thousands of tropical butterflies in a three-level Tropical Forest.

There is a full programme of free events and programmes on all year for Otago inside our walls, from crafts, chemical explosions and storytellers for kids, to live music, public talks, and after dark parties for adults. 

We educate of thousands of school children in free programmes annually, offer science outreach to New Zealand’s most remote rural communities, and ensure that cutting-edge scientific research happens in the south. 

We bring block-buster, global exhibitions to Dunedin, and develop exhibits that win international design awards. We think Fashion Fwd >> Disruption through Design will be one of those exhibitions.

Come along, and find out why we are more than a museum.
