Art Deco Napier

Art Deco Napier

From the devastation of the 7.9-magnitude earthquake that leveled Napier in 1931 emerged one of the finest collections of Art Deco buildings on the planet—about 140, in fact—constructed during the height of the Great Depression. You can see and photograph them on a self-guided walk—highlights include the T&G Building, the Municipal Theatre and the National Tobacco Company—or join a guided walking or bus tour for deeper insight.
