Steampunk HQ - It is crazy, quirky and unique; unlike any other visitor attraction in this universe!

Highlights

  • New Zealand's premier Steampunk experience
  • An interactive museum full of discovery
  • A fascinating collection of retro-futuristic sci-fi art, movies, sculpture and sound
  • Fun and interesting for the whole family!

Steampunk HQ NZ’s premier Steampunk experience is a museum and workshop situated in the historic Victorian precinct of Oamaru. It is crazy, quirky and unique; unlike any other visitor attraction in this universe!

Outside of the imposing free-standing Oamaru stone building, "steampunk" engine SP001 greets visitors by belching flames, smoke and eyrie sounds; whilst inside, a museum of two large darkened rooms and a basement presents a theme of a dark post-apocalyptic vision of a future "as it might have been".

Contraptions and bizarre machinery featuring heavy use of copper, gears, pipes, gas cylinders, as well as an ensemble of skeletal sculptures are lit by flickering lights and accompanied by film, projection and sounds. A back door leads to a large yard with projects and machines in various stages of being "steampunked" including a train carriage, “aethertractor” and giant motorbike. The building's exterior walls are decorated with creations such as giant flies and a fisherman made from metal and industrial parts.

The Infinity Portal is the latest creation; a gateway to other dimensions, both real and imagined. All the walls are completely reflective and a grid of hundreds of multi coloured LED lights are suspended from the ceiling, playing light sequences that move and ripple through the space.

This is one of the most interesting and unusual attractions in NZ - no question about it!

值得一游

服务很好,因为自己预定错了时间,发邮件过去,立刻回复并同意修改,没有硬币还及时给我们换,态度特别友好,虽然对朋克主义不是太了解,但是还是蛮有意思的,室内部分又有灯光缘故有点阴森,室外有趣,最喜欢室内的梦幻小屋,适合一个人体验,总体满意,值得花一个多小时游览。

艺术风格浓郁

bookme的折扣很划算,整个场馆不算大,半个小时就能逛完,很惊叹于艺术家们的想象力,把朋克风格和蒸汽时代的机械零部件们巧妙结合,非常推荐
