Introduction

Toitu Otago Settlers Museum, beside Dunedin's railway station and founded in 1898, is one of New Zealand's most important social history museums. Artefacts and interactives tell Otago's story from early Maori settlement through the gold rush to a diverse immigrant society, including precious relics of Chinese goldminers and early transport; the 2012 extension pairs modern galleries with historic buildings.
