Otautau Museum
Our photographic collection documents the history of Otautau & Districts. Featured on eHive here, is a small selection of the items we have available at our Museum.
We also have a growing collection of family history resources and local area archives. For research inquiries or to view our collections, please contact Collections Manager/Archivist on: 0272114675 or email: collections.otautaumuseum@gmail.com
Our museum resides in Otautau's Old Courthouse, a historic building in Main Street and the hub of our community focused exhibitions, which change periodically. During 2020 our main collections will be mostly temporarily unavailable, due to having important conservation work being undertaken on them. We will advise further when this is completed. Thank you for your support and understanding.
