formerly Museum of Wellington City & Sea
A well-presented museum of the history of Wellington, including its maritime history.
The Supreme Court was established in 2004 to replace the UK Privy Council as New Zealand's highest court, and primarily hears appeals from the Court of Appeal (New Zealand's second-highest court). The Supreme Court complex was completed in 2010, extending on and incorporating the old 1879-built High Court building. The building is open to the public, but you can only look at the courtroom through a window. If you want to see inside the courtroom, join a free tour available three times a week.
A great place to wander around, with walls to climb, inline skates, and jet ski rental.
This is the largest wooden building in the southern hemisphere and the second-largest in the world. It is now the home of Victoria University Law School.
This imposing brick mansion now seems small and out of place amongst the surrounding high-rises. It is closed for renovation.
Wellington Central Library
Wellington's main library with free wifi and computers, printing and photocopying, and a makerspace and recording studio. On the bottom floor is the Central Ground cafe offering hot drinks and baked goods.
