Dunedin Gasworks Museum, Industrial heritage museum in South Dunedin, New Zealand

The Dunedin Gasworks Museum is an industrial museum in South Dunedin that displays five stationary steam engines and numerous historical gas appliances inside its original engine house building. The collection reveals the technical equipment that once powered a coal gas production facility.

The gasworks were founded in 1863 and operated as New Zealand's first coal gas production facility until closing in 1987. The site was later developed into a museum to preserve its industrial heritage.

The museum occupies the former gasworks in Braemar Street, and its fitting shop and blacksmith's shop survive among the site's Edwardian buildings. Today the complex doubles as an events venue, hosting music performances and gatherings of steampunk enthusiasts alongside the gas-industry displays.

The museum occupies the former gasworks site on Braemar Street, near Cargill's Corner in South Dunedin. The chimney was damaged by cracks after a magnitude 6.8 earthquake in March 2025, forcing a temporary closure in April; work to dismantle and repair its top began in May, so check the site's status before travelling.

The museum's five stationary steam engines form a collection the sources describe as unique, and at least some can still be run. The gasworks themselves were New Zealand's first and also the last to stop production, supplying over 18,000 customers at their 1970s peak.
