Toitu Otago Settlers Museum

The Toitu Otago Settlers Museum in Dunedin, New Zealand, is a regional history museum. Its scope includes the former Otago Province, or New Zealand from the Waitaki River south, albeit its primary concentration is the city of Dunedin. It is the country's first history museum.

The museum underwent substantial renovations in 2011 and 2012, reopening to the public in December 2012 under the new name Toit Otago Settlers Museum. The Holmes family suggested and submitted the name Toitu as a suitable complimentary name for the new building in a community competition. This name, which means "to remain unchanged", represents the area's water, land, and sky, and was the name of a former stream that ran near where the museum now stands.

The original entry link between this area and the former bus station has been converted into a study center and monument to First and Second World War veterans from Otago. This positions it next to the Dunedin Cenotaph, which is located in the center of Queen's Gardens, directly outside the museum. Artifacts from the twentieth century may be found at the former bus depot. This features a transport hall with vintage vehicles ranging from drays to a trolley bus, as well as a digital technology area with some of the city's early computer equipment, including an ICT 1301 mainframe.
