It tracks the history of Nelson's Suzi Moncrieff and her journey with the Iconic Wearable Arts. It houses a fabulous collection of past exhibits and has a beautiful range of local wrought jewellery. Moreover the cafe is very good.

From fashion made from everyday materials all of which has been in previous world renowned WOW fashion shows, to one of the best collections of classic and vintage cars in New Zealand, this is a great venue to visit.

If you love something arty and/or cars this is a place to visit. The World of Wearable Arts has become an international phenomenon. It started in Nelson and became so big and popular it was moved to Wellington. So Nelson now has the museum show chasing some weird and wacky clothes designs, they are amazing, definitely worth a look. It has a gift shop with some very nice quality items made by NZ artists. It alsonhas a very nice café too, great to just pop into if you are on that side of town. The back of the museum houses probably one of the largest collection on cars.
