Introduction

The Museum of Wellington City & Sea in the old Harbour Board building on Queens Wharf tells Wellington's story from Maori settlement to a modern port city. Signature exhibits cover the 1968 Wahine shipwreck and the earthquake rebuilds, plus harbour ecology and settler life; the 1892 warehouse building itself is historic, sitting right on the waterfront.
