This beautiful Indo-Persian powder flask (barutdan) can be found in our People of the World Gallery. This would have been used to carry powder for muzzle-loading guns. When you’re next in, it’s a must-see📷

The wonderful Katherine and our awesome front-of-house team have been busy this year creating compost bins for the Museum. Ensuring we’re less wasteful, and we can create some amazing nutrients for nature surrounding the Museum.

Our Director Ian Griffin had his photo chosen as the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day earlier this week! This photo is the result of a pinhole camera's shutter briefly opened each clear day for a year tracking the sun's position. #DunedinNZ #astronomy
