-- About this video --
We’re in the New Zealand city of Dunedin! Today’s Dunedin travel activity is the classic city activity in going to a museum. This one is the Otago Museum which is not only a free thing to do in Dunedin (although some exhibitions you pay for) it’s also one of the things to do on a rainy day in Dunedin.
We walk to the Otago Museum which is within walking distance of Dunedin city centre. The museum is home to lots of fascinating displays that will keep you entertained for at least a couple of hours. It goes over the Pacific Cultures, Maori history in the South Island, European settlers, wildlife in the Otago region including New Zealand’s largest fossil, and “Animal Attic” a taxidermy land going through the evolution of animals according to Victorian theory. One of our highlights in the Otago Museum is the Butterfly Garden in the Otago Museum.
So what do you think of the Otago Museum? Would you add museum in New Zealand to your Dunedin itinerary when travelling New Zealand? LUK in the comments.
