Includes the Attic. Displaying fantastical creations from lions to flying saucers, this steampunk-styled exhibit space is a museum experience with a difference. The Attic begs you to be curious. To explore. To listen. Even to time-travel. And to be totally engaged. You never know what you’ll find.
There are wheelchair accessible toilets on the ground floor at the main entrance and on the third floor (The Attic). Guide dogs and assistance dogs with service jackets, collars and ID are welcome at Wellington Museum. NZ sign language is used in the Millennium Ago exhibition on level 2. Signage throughout the museum is clear, bold and often backlit. A low-sensory hour on the first Thursday of every month from 4 – 5pm.
Wellington Museum is located on the waterfront. The closest bus stops are on Lambton Quay. The Museum is an approximately 5–minute walk from Lambton quay. Make your way along Grey Street then across Customhouse and Jervois Quays to the museum entrance.
There is one accessible car park outside the front entrance to the museum. This is strictly controlled by staff and is for mobility parking permit holders only. The closest public parking is a parking building under the TSB Arena. This is under the control of Wilson Parking and a parking fee is charged.
Matariki is a time where people, whānau, and communities gather together to remember the year that has passed, to celebrate the present, and to plan for the next year. It is a time to remember our loved ones who are no longer with us, to feast and celebrate with our relatives and friends, and to look towards the future and the hope of a season full of bounty.
