Te Papatongarewa - our national museum

Spent a great day at Te Papa - great day to be inside as it happens. There is currently {and for the next 4 years) a special exhibit regarding the battle at Gallipoli where NZ and Australia fought a long battle and lost a lot of men for no real return - bit of a screw up actually.  The figures were created by Weta Workshop (of Lord of the Rings fame) and were 2 1/2 times the size of a real person -amazing detail.   That was only a small part of an amazing museum that we could have spent much longer at.
'Gallipoli - the cost of war'exhibit - amazing!
