Central Stories Museum & Art Gallery

Central Stories Museum & Art Gallery is home to the stories that make up Central Otago.

Our museum is free to enter and displays include; 'Central Rocks' showing the unique geology of our area; 'Treasure', our very own Otago skink;

 history of dredging and gold in the area; detailed interpretations of the impacts of mining, merino and wine on our landscape; early explorers and subsequent social history; and the immigration and lives of the Chinese, specific to Central Otago.

The Russell Henderson Gallery is Central Otago's only public art gallery and house both local and national artists, as well as special exhibitions. The schedule is varied and constantly changing, there are usually associated lectures, activities or workshops too. 

The Art Gallery celebrates local artists, with the occasional regional artist, in a regularly changing programme.
