Built for the centenary of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1940, this gorgeous little art-deco building on the shell-strewn Petone foreshore contains a fun and fascinating wee museum focusing on local history and industry. It's a 15-minute drive from downtown Wellington, or a 23-minute ride on the 83 bus.
