See authentic Wētā-designed collectibles, prop replicas, books, jewellery, art prints, gifts, apparel and movie memorabilia. Entry to the Wētā Cave, including our mini-museum, is free. The Wētā Cave boasts a range of high-end sculptures, prop replicas, art prints and apparel designed by Wētā Workshop artists. A mini-museum displaying Wētā Workshop artefacts from films we’ve worked on. While our tour spaces don’t allow photography, the Wētā Cave is the perfect selfie spot. Book guided tours and hands-on workshops directly. However, we strongly recommend booking online in advance. Our tours frequently sell out, particularly during peak season (Oct-April).
