Scattered along the main road of Napier you will find a number of art galleries, museums and creative shops not to be missed. Here are some of our favourites:
Napier Toy Museum

Alan also buys non-plastic pre-1965 toys and restores them to their former glory. Within the museum and adjacent beautiful garden you can watch boat and steam toys in action.
