Wellington is the capital of New Zealand and the country's second-largest city, home to approximately 430,000 residents. It shares New Zealand Standard Time (NZST, UTC+12) and Daylight Saving (NZDT, UTC+13) with Auckland. Wellington is the world's southernmost national capital of a major sovereign state. Despite its small size, Wellington is one of the world's most culturally rich capitals per capita — its Cuba Street area, Te Papa Museum (national museum of New Zealand), and vibrant café and arts scene give it a reputation as New Zealand's 'coolest little capital.' Wellington is the centre of New Zealand's film industry — Weta Workshop and Weta Digital (now Weta FX), founded by director Peter Jackson, created the special effects and props for The Lord of the Rings trilogy, which was entirely filmed in New Zealand. Wellington's harbour setting, surrounded by green hills, creates a dramatic and beautiful urban landscape. The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa is the most visited museum in the Southern Hemisphere.
