Southland’s new museum

Nestled at the edge of the award-winning Queens Park, our new museum will embrace the natural landscape around us. Celebrate our place: from the craggy mountainscapes of the distant Takitimu ranges, to the deep blue waters of Te Ara a Kiwa (Foveaux Strait), and everywhere in between.

With state-of-the-art facilities including an on-site café, retail spaces, and education spaces, Te Unua Museum of Southland will be a must-see destination in Invercargill.
