Dunedin Gasworks Museum, Industrial heritage museum in South Dunedin, New Zealand
The Dunedin Gasworks Museum displays a collection of five stationary steam engines and numerous industrial gas appliances in its original engine house location.
Established in 1863, the Dunedin Gasworks operated as New Zealand's first coal gas production facility until its closure in 1987, later transforming into a museum.
The museum maintains regular blacksmith classes in its original forge, preserving traditional metalworking skills for new generations of craftspeople.
Visitors can explore the museum during regular Sunday openings from 12 PM to 4 PM, with a suggested donation of 5 dollars per adult.
This facility stands as one of only three preserved gasworks museums worldwide, featuring operational steam-driven machinery from the nineteenth century.
