Experience a creative and visual feast that is beyond description. Firmly established as an iconic visitor attraction, the WOW & Classic Cars Museum celebrates two distinctly different passions.

The WearableArt™ Gallery features over 50 entries from the annual Montana World of WearableArt™Awards. Marvel at the extraordinary imagination and astonishing capacity of artists from New Zealand and around the world to create truly mind blowing works of art that are wearable. A 30 minute film of the Montana World of WearableArt™Awards can be viewed in the Audio Visual theatre.

The Classic Car gallery offers an eclectic mix of immaculately presented vehicles in an imaginative setting, complete with themed sets and theatrical lighting. An additional area, the Classic Collection, housing nearly 70 cars is an optional extra and here also,during weekdays, a full time car restorer can be found working on the latest project.

The museum also includes a cafe, museum shop and art gallery.
