World of WearableArt & Classic Cars Museum

Nelson is the birthplace of NZ's most eccentric fashion show, the annual World of WearableArt Awards (now staged in Wellington). You can see a selection of past entries in this museum's sensory-overloading galleries; look out for the "Bizarre Bra" room. More car than bra? Under the same roof are more than 100 mint-condition classic cars.
