Museums in New Zealand

🏛️ Downtown Treasures (Perfect for City Walks!) 📍 Tūhura Otago Museum Possibly the best museum in the South Island (Christchurch’s is still under repair). Free entry, world-class exhibits—I went twice! Highlights include mesmerizing Māori taonga (treasures) and Pacific navigation artifacts. 📍 Toitū Otago Settlers Museum A time capsule of NZ’s colonial history, featuring vintage cars and a Shanghai-style sister garden (Lan Yuan) at its rear. 📍 First Church of Otago A Gothic masterpiece with a spire piercing the sky—equally stunning up close or from afar. 📍 Dunedin Railway Station A photographer’s dream! Book a scenic train ride here to traverse the Taieri Gorge. #Dunedin Railway Station #First Church of Otago #Toitū Otago Settlers Museum
