ToitūOSM is an official website of the Toitū Otago Settlers Museum, a renowned museum of social history located in Dunedin, New Zealand. Our mission is to narrate the rich and diverse story of the people of Dunedin and the surrounding area, showcasing how their character, culture, technology, art, fashion, and transport have shaped New Zealand’s first great city. With fourteen themed galleries, our museum offers interactive displays and powerful narratives that trace the human history of the region, capturing the journey of the earliest settlers to the present-day arrivals.

Situated in the heart of Dunedin’s picturesque heritage district, we not only provide a window into the past but also offer venue hire for a variety of events, ranging from small gatherings to grand occasions. If you are interested in joining our team, please visit the Dunedin City Council website for current vacancies. Feel free to contact us for general inquiries or to subscribe to our newsletter.
