  • Hunt for History - The Museums Passport Challenge.

Calling all young explorers! Get ready for an exciting adventure this summer with the ‘Central Otago in 100 Objects’ exhibition.

Five museums across Central Otago have selected 20 amazing objects to create a fun heritage trail filled with fascinating stories from our past.

Grab your free ‘Hunt for History Passport’ and hit the trail this summer!

At each museum, you will dive into history with four fun activities – such as drawing, word games, and engaging questions to spark your curiosity! Collect stamps in your special passport to track your journey. If you collect stamps from at least two different museums, you could win a fantastic prize package! Once you’ve finished collecting your stamps, show your passport at any of the listed museums to enter the prize draw. 

Pick up your FREE passport at one of the five Central Otago museums, starting December, 2024 and finishing April 2025.
