Fantastic museum. The free to look around areas are fabulous and took around 1.5 hours for a good look through, but you could easily spend 2-3 hours looking at more detail and interacting with the displays.nWe went to specifically look at the Relics display which is a temporary display that is there until the 27 April 2025. It was stunning, tickets required to this area. Well worth a visit.nThere is also a science and tropical area with 100’s of butterflies . It’s a brilliant experience. Well worth it.nWheelchair friendly for 90% of the areas.nSitting areas around the museum, so if you get tired easily this is great.nClean toilets.nCafe and shop there too. We didn’t use these services this time.
Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful museum. Came in for the Lego Relics and walked around for more than Lego. I really love how the museum curates Lego with a mixture of historical and old stuff. It is like narrating a story. Very creative. Loves to spend more time here and wish to come back visit if the ticket price can be cheaper
I recently visited the Tuhura Otago Museum and was thoroughly impressed by the wide range of exhibits on display. One of the standout attractions is the 2,500-year-old Egyptian mummy, which is astonishing to see in person. The museum's ship model display is also quite remarkable. Among the impressive collection, I was delighted to find a model of the ship my ancestors arrived on in 1930.nnThe museum also features a LEGO display, which looks like a lot of fun, but it requires a separate ticket that I didn't purchase. Another highlight of the museum is the Wildlife Attic, where they have a variety of taxidermy animals from all over the world. It was fascinating to see such a diverse collection.nnOverall, I had a wonderful time exploring the exhibits, and the friendly staff made the experience even better. I highly recommend a visit to the Otago Museum for anyone interested in history, wildlife, and unique displays.
Great museum with friendly staff and good interactive activities for children. We went to the butterfly display which was incredible. They also have a very curated collection about New Zealand's history and flora and fauna which is free to access. You do have to pay for access to the butterflies and astronomy.
The butterfly exhibit and the planetarium are well worth the visit. As is the historical items from the area. The staff are super friendly, loads of different things for people with different interests. Highly accessible for people of all mobility types for most areas. Loved it!
