I was disappointed there were no brochures to take and peruse as the amount of detail in pictures and words is immense. A lot of effort has gone into “expressionism by culture, personal taste and individuality.” It is worth a look if you’re in Wellington looking for something else to do. ~ http://www.mokomuseum.org.nz/

I had seen pics of that building and moai before. Wellington is definitely NZ's most tiki city (in the poly-pop sense), and apparently good mai-tais are not too hard to find (even a $60 one! :o )
