Title: Te Papa Museum Gallipoli Exhibition
Post by: Kiwifruit on Friday, 07 March 2025, 04:25 PM
I know some of you fellas have served in the military so thought this amazing exhibition may be of interest. Certainly a must see for anyone visiting our capital. The expo was created by Weta Workshop's Sir Richard Taylor. The figures you see are 2.4 times real life,
the detail is amazing. If you google " The Scale of Our War" you will find much more information.
I saw it 10 years ago
a week after it
opened. The public filed through in total
silence.
To see it again is
still haunting and emotional.

Wow that's incredible - must be very impressionable when you are actually there for sure.

Just seen a news item on TV saying this exhibition has been extended to 2032. Over 2 million of the little poppies have been left and over 4 million visitors have viewed it.
