About
Originally an 1880’s grain elevator building in the Victorian Precinct of Ōamaru, Steampunk HQ is a unique museum of art, sound and light showing an altered universe. Do you dare to discover a place unlike anywhere else in New Zealand?
Well known for its full-scale train engine outside that spits fire and billows smoke, inside a museum of contraptions & bizarre machinery featuring heavy use of copper, gears, pipes & gas cylinders, as well as an ensemble of skeletal sculptures lit by flickering lights & accompanied by film, projection & sound. A back door leads to a large yard with projects in various stages of being steampunked.
Steampunk HQ must be experienced rather than explained.
