Wellington Museum

Lavishly restored to its former glory, this heritage building boasts multiple magnificent spaces full of history and the stories of Wellington.

Located two minutes walk from Lambton Quay on the Wellington waterfront, this world-class museum is suitable for meetings, cocktail events and VIP dinners.

Featuring eight meeting spaces, the entire museum is also available for hire and can host up to 700 guests. For intimate meetings, the historic Boardroom is ideal with its capacity of up to 12 people. Let the Wellington Museum and The Catering Studio take care of everything — all that’s left for you to decide is who to invite and when.
