This very nice mounted hoki is a new addition to the museum’s collection. These remarkable deep water animals are the mainstay of the local fishing industry. The museum has a small collection of deep water fish including orange roughy, angler fish, fangtooth etc . #hoki #hokifish #deepwaterfish

Just been looking through some posters from our old band Crystal Zoom(83-85). Believe it or not people pay good money for them.

We have some good news. This museum has been approved to join Museums Aotearoa. This is the national umbrella group for local museums and there are many benefits from being a member, not least the kudos that we have made the move from a small private collection to a recognised institution.

The latest addition to the collection is this Yellow Box Fish (Ostraction cubicus). This species belongs to the family Ostraciidae, or boxfishes. They’re found in reefs throughout the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean as well as the south-eastern Atlantic Ocean

It was great to have a visit this weekend from a couple of Museum rockstars. Vanessa ( British Museum of Natural History Museum) and Yuri (Te Papa). Both had also worked in other museums but they said some very nice things about this one. #dunedin #museum #museumlife
