Detail InformationEdit
The Otago Settlers Museum is a regional history museum in Dunedin, New Zealand. Its brief covers the territory of the old Otago Province, that is, New Zealand from the Waitaki River south. It is New Zealand’s oldest and most extensive history museum. It is located in the heart of the city close to other prominent buildings such as the Dunedin Railway Station, some 500 metres from the city centre (The Octagon).
In 1927 the museum took over the adjoining building, also designed by Burnside, vacated by the Dunedin Public Art Gallery. The institution sometimes struggled financially finding little support from the city council. Comparable museums in two other New Zealand cities, Auckland and Wellington, were closed after the second World war and their collections dispersed. The country’s interest in its own history was at a low ebb. The period 1949 to 1977 has been called ‘Decline and Fall’ and the museum might have died. The buildings were extensive, the collections considerable and varied, comprehending furniture, apparel, technology – including household appliances and vehicles – as well as archives and works of art. Maintenance and even heating presented formidable challenges.
