Museum events officer Emily Kerr-Bell said the Halloween-themed Pyjamarama was a fabulous way for children to see the museum in a different light.
"It’s awesome for us to be able to use our spaces in a way that they wouldn’t be able to be used during the day," she said.
It was "such a highlight for us getting to see all the young ones getting excited about it".
Sisters Ellie, 3, and Lily Hall, 8, both of Dunedin, enjoy a suitably spooky Tūhura Otago Museum last night.
Pyjamas and costumes were encouraged and museum staff had enjoyed the opportunity to dress up as well, Ms Kerr-Bell said.
There were "lots of costumes going on — Wednesday Adams has definitely been the most popular so far".
Arts and crafts, face paintings and a magic show were all on offer as well as trails through the museum’s gallery.
