From it's static mannequins to rotating sushi train like display to the intimate AV auditorium, this is a little gem of a stop in Nelson.Highly recommended.Cars are ok (and I am a classic lover) it's the WOW that's worth the visit.
Even if you are not a fashion person this is amazingly creative! A must see, you will go away impressed and wanting to find the video somewhere to share with friends
Not sure of this is our best. Certainly very slick and well presented as a place. No reason to fault this. But .very costly we felt for what it was. And tricky car guy that likes very out there fashion and art, or car girl with man who isnan artist? People who love cars perhaps will find some very ordinary as we did.Hard mix we felt cutting edge art and fashion with cars! ? A very unique mix at a big price for entry we felt...Unfortunately we wanted it to be accessible/priced well not one on our list of places to reccomend to visit.
If you have never seen a WOW show before then you show visit this Museum. However, please note that there are only a small sample of costumes on display - there are some static displays when you enter the 'costume area' and then I recommend you sit on seats or stand and watch the costumes as they come out on a travalator under lights for you. Once you leave this area there is only a room with video to view or exit to the Classic cars [which is fab].Leaving costumes we entered the Classic Car Musuem [NZ classic cars] but predominantly American [beautiful cars] - Pankards, cadillacs etc. All beautifully done up and displayed expertly.Thats it - and costs $24 per person - pricey but as we said 'we have now seen it but wont return' - only because it is too pricey for what it is in comparision to costs of other museums.Lovely cafe and staff in front of museum and good toilets.
Do watch the video, it makes sense of the extraordinary dresses to see them worn and moving.And a prime collection of quality cars
Incredible display of wearable art and the classic car section enhanced by the art on display made from car materials.
A different place - vintage cars and wearable art.NZ$24 per person appears a bit pricy however if you like art and want to see a number of old US cars from the 1950's in particular then this is the place for you.Killed a few hours on a wet day.
You will see things here that most of us have not experienced....An interesting way to spend a few hours...but certainty not a must see.
Makes you want to get creative and make something, and to book a trip to Wellington to see the real performance. Stunning outfits presented in an interactive way with video and moving models.Will send go back as it changes every 6 months. Genius
A little different but still worth a visit. Wearable arts is a bit small but the video at the end goes on for about 30 mins. The car museum has many classic cars and lots of american examples.
