A fabulous shop/museum. Here you will find - or the super friendly staff will tell you, all about the history of Napier and the dreadful earthquake that re-shaped the town to how it is today. Amazing nostalgic trip through Art Deco times. Great town too by the way. Be prepared to take lots of photos.

We were an art group travelling through New Zealand and the tour with the Art Deco guide, Christine, was tailored to point out things that our group was interested in. The early history and the visit to the national tobacco factory...under renovation...was the highlight.

The walking tour is highly recommended, our guide was informative and friendly and we learnt so much. There's a short talk with slideshow beforehand, then after the walk a film, and tea and coffee is available. A very enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours and well worth the $21 charged. The shop is fascinating to look round, too.

The Trust shop was recently relocated to the corner of Tennyson and Herschell street. Although on a sunday, the walk was very interesting when you are interested in architecture. Now I know a lot more about ziggurats. Also some information was available on the 1931 earthquake after which the great Art deco renewal took place. Peeking inside the bank you... More

A must visit for anyone visiting Napier. Everything from postcards to clothes are available and all staffed by some really amazing people.

Had a nice range of items. The staff were friendly and the pricing was not too bad.We managed to spend a few dollars here.
