Toitū Otago Settlers Museum

The Toitū Otago Settlers Museum, located in Dunedin, New Zealand, is the country's oldest history museum, founded in 1898 to celebrate the Scottish settlement of Otago. It showcases the region's history from the late 18th century to the present, focusing on the city of Dunedin and its surrounding areas. The museum features extensive collections, including the oldest preserved steam locomotive in New Zealand, Josephine, and a variety of artifacts reflecting the lives of early settlers. After significant renovations completed in 2012, the museum now offers interactive displays and a comprehensive narrative of the region's development, making it a must-visit for tourists and researchers interested in New Zealand's heritage.
