I never expected to be interested in this place but it was really exciting and had amazing hologram based exhibits so you could be transported back in time to early Wellington wharf life and activities. There is an excellent movie of the Wahine tragedy - and the building itself is beautiful. Worth a visit. More

This was a really interesting visit. Loved the Maori Myths "show" and the informative Wahine video. Allow a couple of hours More

This was much better than I expected and ideal to take all ages. Definately worth a visit and so close to the city More

Wellington history at its best, free and a must see better than te Papa.2 hours to have a good look at everything More

Fascinating stories and visual displays some of which you are encouraged to touch. Convenient from the waterfront and friendly staff. Compactly laid out on three floors, you can easily spend two Interesting hours (or more). More

This is really the museum of Wellington (cf Te Papa which is more widely focused). Terrific insights into early Wellington, and a terrific movie on the 1968 Wahine disaster. I regard this as a 'must do' in Wellington - and walk there, around the waterfront, on a good day. It's a very special Wellington experience. More

Not a large museum but layout really interesting and kept our attention. More
