The Department of Curiosities and Fine Things

About

The Department is a forgotten Governmental Organisation that has a curated collective of creative makers hanging out within it's partitions.

Story

Imagine you work for a big organisation. In an office. You have a desk and a chair and everyday you turn up and sit, and wait. But nothing ever happens.
You begin to suspect that the department has been here so long that the Organisation has forgotten it exists.
After a while you get bored just sitting and being an imaginative soul you decide to do something to fill in your time. A painting perhaps (the walls do look a bit bare), or some sewing (a cushion would help the sitting), or some cheery bunting, or you could make some jewellery or a cheeseboard or . . . or . . .
Welcome.
To The Department of Curiosities and Fine Things.
Where innovation is celebrated and the imagination set free.

Reviews
A nice place with items on display from varies designer/artist
Quirky store with handmade and New Zealand made items. Spent ages discovering beautiful items.
Very unique shop with lots of different things ranging from clothes, gifts, crafts, art etc. I love the community knitting chair outside that anyone can sit down and knit a few rows.
Full of cool, weird and wonderful objects, locally made art and some clothing. Find a gift, something for yourself, or just have a wander round, something might catch your eye. Definitely different to your average gift shop that seem to be popping up in every town, all selling the exact same imported junk.
Fantastic place would give more stars if I could. Has the best range of things you didnt know you wanted.
Fabulous shop full of local handcrafted items
Interesting little place with a good range of eccentric stock. Worth popping in to look at some of the unusual items on offer
A cool, and quirky shop! They have things that I have never seen elsewhere, some handmade, some not. I picked up a few little items, and I would definitely go back.
Beautiful and creative artwork, crafts, cards, homemade products and housewares from local craft makers, at very affordable prices!
What a wonderful find, a collection of NZ artists and crafters.Unique gifts for all.An assortment of Map coasters, clothing,,hair tonics, children’s toys, artwork .All at reasonable prices and staff are lovely.Will even gift wrap.Highly recommend.
