Lyttelton Museum

P O Box 95, Lyttelton ,
This page is to help museum members, supporters, and anyone who's interested keep in touch and be updated with our endeavours to find a new home. If you have any questions or comments about the museum, let us know. We'd also love to know what you want from the Lyttelton museum when it is rebuild/rehomed. We have meetings on the last Saturday of each month, 10-12ish, at the Lyttelton Main school hall. New members, donations, or any other support is welcomed. The Lyttelton Museum started in 1968. It was housed in the Z-Company barracks building near tunnel entrance. In 1980, the museum moved to 2 Gladstone Quay where it stood until the sequence of earthquakes starting on September 4, 2010 damaged the building until it had to be demolished in late 2011. Thanks to the help of many volunteers, including the Lyttelton Volunteer Fire brigade, Wigram Air Force Museum, and Stark Brothers, we rescued much of the collection and museum treasures, which are now in storage. Our two main tasks now are to find a new home for the museum and to catalogue our collection.
