Who we are

About our collections

The core of our object collection was donated by colleagues and gathered when our predecessor organisation, the Southern Electricity Board, later Southern Electric, set up The Museum of Electricity in Christchurch in 1983 which later closed in 2013. The objects continue to be cared for and are stored securely.
