A useful and interesting introduction to Wellington's relatively short history. Well worth visiting on arrival in the city so that you get to understand more about the place as you then explore.

Brilliant and free museum which gives you an excellent insight into the cultural history of Wellington. Get way to spend a few hours in the city.

Not the best city museum I've ever been to, but a pleasant way to spend an hour. In a historic waterfrond building.

Wellington Museum is part of the historic building complex of the old Wellington harbour. Apart from the nice facade, the exhibition is fun and comprehensive. Visitor of every age can spend a good time here.
