Dunedin Gasworks Museum

Welcome to Dunedin Gasworks Museum, nestled in the heart of Otago, a city steeped in history and charm. Established with a vision to preserve and celebrate our industrial past, we've transformed an old gasworks into a vibrant hub of education, entertainment, and nostalgia. Step inside our doors, and you'll be transported back in time to the early 20th century, when gas lighting illuminated the city streets. Our collection is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of those who came before us, and each artifact tells a story that echoes through the decades.
