For an imaginative, interactive experience of Wellington’s social and maritime history, swing into the Wellington Museum, occupying an 1892 Bond Store. Highlights include a moving documentary on the Wahine, the interisland ferry that sank in the harbour in 1968 with the loss of 51 lives. Māori legends are dramatically told using tiny holographic actors and special effects. The new 'Attic' exhibition space opened in 2015.
