  • Hunt for History - The Museums Passport Challenge.

Following the successful launch of the 'Central Otago in 100 Objects Exhibition', the Central Otago Museums Trust is excited to announce a family-focused initiative: The Hunt for History Passport.

This passport invites children under 12 to explore the exhibition in a fun and engaging way. From the thrill of buried treasure to the intrigue of a daring robbery -and even a 130-year-old wedding cake - the exhibition showcases 100 must-see collection items. These objects, held by the five public museums across Central Otago, tell important stories of the district's rich history, creating a heritage trail of discovery. Passport activities are designed around these fascinating objects.

Young participants can complete four fun activities at each museum to earn a stamp in their passport. Those who collect stamps from all five museums will have the chance to win some great prizes.

Passports will be available for collection from the five participating museums just before Christmas. Keep an eye on the Museums Central Otago Facebook page or visit www.museumscentralotago.org.nz for more information.
