Otago's Otago, developed in partnership with the Otago Daily Times, ran initially from late December last year to late February, and attracted more than 50,000 visitors.
The exhibition's content was determined by submissions from the community. The process highlighted the many and varied things that made Otago the amazing place that it was, from albatrosses to Central Otago road trips, as well as the Tuapeka punt, geckoes and glowworms,
museum organisers said.
The show, which will start again on June 28, was "the ultimate insider's guide to our own amazing place'', organisers said.
Museum exhibitions, development and planning director Clare Wilson said the "very popular show'' would run again until late August.
"It's a particularly wonderful show, because it reflects in part what we know about ourselves very well but it [also] adds to our knowledge,'' Ms Wilson said.
Among the show's rarely-seen exhibits were the University of Otago ceremonial mace, an Emmy Award won by Dunedin NHNZ (Natural History New Zealand) producer Ian McGee, and the fleece recently shorn from Shrek, the celebrated merino, on an iceberg off the Otago coast.
