About the trust

Established in 2021, the Central Otago Museums Trust (COMT) connects five unique museums across the district, working together to celebrate, preserve, and share the rich heritage of Central Otago.

The Trust fosters collaboration across the museum network through shared expertise, resources, skills, and opportunities.

COMT supports each museum to maintain its own identity, shaped by local stories and community connections.

Together, the museums offer visitors a connected journey through the region’s past.
