Something for everyone, unfortunately didn't have enough time, could spend a couple of hours easily. Some quirky stuff with really good explanatory notes. Defintely worth a visit

Super cool place with a super cool proprietor. Bruce has put a lot of great work into the space, and it's a nice little oasis of creativity and interest near the centre of town. I think you'll come away having learned a couple of notable facts from the local area or abroad as well as having experienced some inspiringly crafted works of unique art.
My boys (8 and 11 years old) and I had the place to ourselves and we enjoyed looking at everything on display, and taking a bit more time to look and read more carefully the items that were most interesting to us. And Bruce was able to add detail if we wanted to know more about anything. There's also a nice collection of items for sale near the end that I suspect will vary over time as things sell out and different ones become available.

I love how there was a mixture of local and international objects in this museum. Anyone whose interested in art will also enjoy, as there were art works as well. The museum itself is well set out and I love how you have to look high and low at all the items in each room. The collection of skulls were interesting. Definitely worth the visit to anyone who comes to Dunedin or is local to the area.

Awesome experience if you’re visit g Dunedin. We loved meeting Bruce and talking to him about his collections and artworks (as the sign on his desk says, he’s very friendly!). Such an amazing and well curated collection.
