BNZ Museum

Join us for a journey back in time

In the 1860s, while Central Otago was in the grip of gold fever, Bank of New Zealand began to build its history. Taken in 1863, this photograph shows the Maori Point Agency on the Shotover River near Queenstown.

This unique Museum showcases nearly 150 years of banking history in New Zealand. It is a living archive of BNZ and those that interact with it; customers, staff and the community. Exhibits track the development of banking technology as well as provide a fascinating insight into the social and architectural heritage of our country.

The displays include
• Banking on Gold

Money and Currency
