It was the best place that we visited in Dunedin NZ.
Alot of info, Nice collection and the owner did really really hard work collecting all the bones, skulls and designing the arts in the place.

Really recommend it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. So many interesting exhibits and the art was stunning. Merchandise was decently priced and of a high standard. Absolutely recommend visiting if you are in Dunedin

An outstanding museum, full of natural history and oddities, well laid out and will keep you fascinated for hours. Spend about two hours there.

Full of surprises, wonders and weirdness, this museum should be at the top of any visitor's list when in Dunedin. Dunedin Museum of Natural Mystery is more than a cabinet of curiosities, it is a true museum of discovery, where objects open up worlds of intrigue and new ideas.

Each room is packed with all kinds of unusual objects covering a wide range of subject matter that will interest anyone.

Allow enough time to read all the little cards, they are fabulous mix of fact and snippets from the owner's life. Whilst it's an enormous collection it just all works together and is well worth the entry price.
