Te Papa's Gallpolli exhibition, wow.

[planecrazy]

Really wanted to see this as my Grandfather trained in Egypt and was going to Gallpolli he was invalided
back to his home in Wellington. Sadly the rest of his Platoon did not come home, he carried the guilt of
this to his grave.

Found this amazing, quite emotion with the music, walking around a corner and being struck by these
almost staggering scenes. The lifelike oversized figures are simply stunning, their uniforms and weapons,
details like the hair coming out of the the skin. The facial expressions reflecting the emotion of the setting,
nearly had to sit down afterwards to take it all in. So well done and congratulations to all involved.

Did two clips, mainly figures in the first one and the rest in the second, didn't know what to leave out?

Unfortunately my visit was during a busy time so I was unable to absorb the Whole.
I was struck by the tragedy of of it all and left with a lump in my throat.
I will be going at opening time during my next visit to The Nation's Capital.

Sir Peter's Great War Exhibition was amazing, and would have been my favourite museum exhibit I've ever attended. It didn't shut because of the lefties though. It closed because of a disagreement between Massey Uni and the Ministry. It was only ever a temporary exhibit and the money wasn't there to keep it open. I wish Te Papa, or even better the Auckland War memorial Museum had taken it on.

Also the Scale of our War at Te Papa closes soon too. I do hope all the models, etc are kept and not just taken to the tip
