Museum director Jennifer Evans said the chair was displayed in the DUNedinburgh exhibition last year.
''It's great to have the chair in a place where visitors can sit in it.
''They are most welcome to have their photo taken, too,'' she said.
The chair was carved from a large block of Waikawa granite by James Robertson to mark the Dunedin visit of the future King George V in 1901 and is known as Dunedin's own Stone of Destiny.
This occasion was important but it also gave members of the Caledonian Society of Otago a chance to get together and have their photograph taken with the chair.
Members of the society had a similar picture taken in 1909.
