NZテパパ・トンガレワ博物館：ガリポリ展ガイドツアー

Te Papa is one of the best museums we have visited in our travels around the world. All exhibits are so thoughtfully curated, and lived narratives are interwoven into the items on display. The exhibit of Gallipoli: The Scale of Our War was particularly moving. As an Australian, it gave me pause to learn more about the NZ perspective of the landing and subsequent campaign, as well as the conditions endured by the ANZACs. I also appreciated Te Papa as an open space for the community. Dispersed across the floors were spaces for folks to sit and relax. This museum is fr from austere; it’s welcoming, interactive, and shares narratives without judgment or bias. It’s fantastic! Props to the curators of this wonderful space!

I gave a 2 out of 5 rating, because I'm so disappointed. I love the Te Papa museum and have been there many times. While on holiday in NZ, we went especially to show my Australian husband the excellent Gallipoli exhibition, (and that's all we went to see) because he's "an overseas visitor" he was charged $35. So much for the Anzac spirit. Poor form New Zealand..

Visited the museum whilst staying in Wellington. On the first day we only managed 2 sections as there is plenty to see. My favourite was Gallipoli, the huge scale and detail of the figures, designed by Wētā Workshops, was a truly ‘wow’ moment! And that along with all the personal testimony made it a very informative but also truly moving experience. The natural world section and the Māori experience were also highlights of the museum. Definitely worth a visit but wear comfortable shoes!

This is so tastefully presented but misses none of the horror and magnitude of a senseless and brutal conflict. The influence of the New Zealand cinematic story tellers is evident on each giant figurine that is so meticulously brought to life. The guide was immensely approachable and very knowledgable and help to bring the tour to life. This exhibit is a masterpiece in an otherwise average museum.

The sets created by Weta Workshop (Lord of the Rings) are fabulous. The giant characters (2.5 x human size) are confusingly realistic and moving. The exhibition is a very beautiful tribute to these men who crossed the planet to fight in Europe during the first world war. Exceptional.

Visited Te Papa a few times and never get sick of it. Exhibitions are amazing especially Gallipoli. Great museum to visit with families also. Would highly recommend visiting if you’re in Wellington.

I was not sure what to expect from this exhibit located at the Museum of New Zealand and boy was I pleasantly surprised, What an amazing and very real exhibit where the characters are larger than life and have incredible detail. The exhibit tells the story of the Brave NZ troops who landed with the Canadians and the Australian's at Gallipoli back in the First World War. Probably one of the finest exhibitions anywhere in the world and tells a wonderful story. This is not to be missed and well done to the creators at WETA.

Absolutely amazing, highly recommend! The exhibition is brilliant. If you’re in Wellington it’s a must do, seriously not to be missed.

We went to see this exhibition a few days ago. Well worth the trip the exhibition is very well done and set out. Done from the point of view of the solders. Very interactive and great for all the family.

Fabulous Museum, the exhibit Galipoli was incredible So lifelike so moving I learned a lot about the New Zealand Involvement in the world wars All around an excellent museum with wonderful exhibits, I enjoyed learning more about the Maori culture
