Today’s gloriously beautiful thing was referred by fellow bloggers Alison and Don, who write Adventures in Wonderland. Go give them some love!
This is the magical, surreal New Zealand art museum known as World of WearableArt, WOW to those in the know. WOW’s museum hosts a permanent collection of weird and wonderful pieces created for them.
You can see more of the thousands of fantastic, mind-blowing art on the WOW website and you can see their pieces in motion (which I think is a million times more fun!) on their YouTube channel.

Thanks for the shoutout Donna. It’s quite extraordinary isn’t it? We meant to go to the museum in Nelson where they have a rotating collection but forgot! Then we discovered there happened to be an exhibition in Auckland so we did a lightening trip up to Auckland just to see it. We saw several of the garments that are featured in the first video.

We saw lobster woman, and the horse among others. I knew they had that big extravaganza of a show every year – and some of it was being projected onto a wall in the museum in Auckland so I watched it for quite a while, but I’ve never seen the youtube videos! Thank you!

Some of it is more wearable than others, but still fun!

I love that people imagine these designs and have these crazily creative concepts but the fact they then actually construct them from is just amazing. The engineering required for some of them must be quite something too.

I thought the same. Are there hydraulics under there?

As a stage production it is a WOW but wearable….I don’t think so.
