The Otago Settlers Museum Archives and Research Reading Room has closed during a Redevelopment period and will reopen late 2012.
One of New Zealand’s finest social history museums, Otago Settlers Museum, established in 1898, stands to the south of Dunedin’s Railway Station and forms an integral part of the historic Queens Gardens precinct.
The museum was founded to mark the 50th anniversary of the planned Scottish settlement of Dunedin. A purpose-built gallery was opened in 1908 and is still part of today’s museum, carefully retained as an Edwardian-style showcase for the display of early settler portraits, furniture and memorabilia.
