Yaldhurst Museum, Transport and science museum in Christchurch, New Zealand
The Yaldhurst Museum houses an extensive collection of 137 vintage cars, horse-drawn carriages, motorcycles, scooters, tractors, and agricultural equipment from different periods.
Alfred Thornhill Cooper established the museum in 1968 after purchasing Dudley House, a colonial dwelling from 1876, along with two stables on 8 acres of land.
The museum preserves New Zealand's technological advancement through exhibits of road transport vehicles, printing equipment, and a replica fire station with nine historical appliances.
Currently closed until further notice, the museum's cafe remains open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 3:30 PM, serving coffee and food selections.
The collection includes a rare 1886 hearse from Invercargill that transported New Zealand Prime Minister Richard Seddon's body in 1906.
