    Excellent introduction to the European settlement in Dunedin and the ensuing history of the area and broader South Island.

    Not bad for a free rainy day activity, but not the most exciting content in a museum either.

    It's a very nicely laid out museum with interesting historical tidbits of early Otago. It's a rather immersive experience!
