Weta Workshop's "The Scale of Our War" Exhibit

While in New Zealand, Adam is able to visit the extraordinary exhibition "The Scale of Our War" at the Te Papa museum. Featuring truly larger-than-life sculptures by Weta Workshop, the exhibition tells the story of the Gallipoli campaign in World War I. Join Adam for a tour of the exhibit as we get up close to these remarkable figures.

I was lucky enough to go see this with a colleague while in NZ for business, he was so proud and touched by the exhibit. He passed away a few weeks ago, this will be a memory I’ll always have... thanks John

[@owiela]

As a Kiwi, and having seen this exhibit myself, I have to say that this is the most striking and humbling experience I've had in a while. The sculpture is so real, not just in detail, but in every sense of the word. Anyone travelling from overseas, make time to come to Wellington and see this. There will be no regrets.

[@missybeenz]

I've been through this exhibit 3 or 4 times, being a Wellington kiwi, and honestly the whole thing is just so surreal and unnerving. The Gallipoli Campaign is such an important part of our history and it plays a major role in shaping New Zealand's identity as a country. Adam described it well with Lottie when he said it felt like he was invading her space because it really does feel that way. You feel so out of place next to these incredible giants in action and it makes you feel rather insignificant in the moment. The whole exhibit is gorgeous and heartbreaking and really is 100% worth visiting if you can.

[@x3Ryosukeee]

I seen the Galipoli exhibition in Te Papa countless times. It's something I ALWAYS walk through every time I visit Wellington (it's free so why the hell not!?). Every time I'm blown away by the amount of detail these larger than life sculptures have. Seriously, Weta have really outdone themselves with this exhibit. It does a great job of keeping you interested from start to finish. I'm glad to see it featured on this channel!

[@jamiecole2096]

After years of waiting to visit Wellington again, I was finally there last week - and of course we went to this exhibit. My 10 yr old daughter only made it to second of the five main installations. My 12 yr old son went right through it with me. Honestly, you just can’t prepare yourself. By halfway I was only just holding it together for my son. It’s both ghastly and incredible at the same time. World class and deeply moving.

[@gregorysharp]

Thank you Adam for doing this. WW1 is so often breezed over especially in the States. Wonderful exhibit. Simply amazing.

[@ManuelMcLure]

If you're interested in WW1, you might want to search for "Dan Carlin's Harcore History" and download his 6-part podcast series called "Blueprint for Armageddon" which covers The Great War from both a high level and also from the point of view of the soldiers (from letters and diaries). The whole thing is over 20 hours and is currently a free download. It can be hard to listen to, but very much worth it to understand exactly what sort of a hell WW1 was.

[@viktorsolberg8446]

If you ever have the chance to visit Kansas City Missouri, you’d probably like the Liberty Memorial museum and monument. I grew up in the area and went as a field trip in high school, and I found it amazing. Two displays I want to shout out are a giant projection screen, maybe 2 stories? The seats are high above the ground below the screen, and they have sculptures and set dressing that looks like the trenches. They even manage to bring it to life by projecting flashing light and such to imitate mortars on the sculpture itself. The other display is the life sized trench they have built. The model is set dressed and beautiful in a dark way, but the best part is that you can’t see it from above, nor can you walk through it- you only can catch glances through holes they have in the wall facing the museum. You stick your head through and can only see a bit at a time, which between that and the tight spaces give you a sense of the claustrophobia of that setting

We went to this exhibition during our trip through NZ two years ago and, besides all the great places we went and amazing things we saw, this particular exhibit with those sculptures still give me the shivers, watching the video. Even thought they are way over sized, they look so real, the leather of the belts, the sweaty skin, cloth, all looks so lifelike, even in close up, that I am still impressed to that day by the works of WETA. But not only the sculptures, the whole exhibit and the way it was presented to us, was a very, very good...and also very tragic and touching experience. I can only recommend anybody with interest in history, or art, to go there and see it for them self. BTW...I also recommend going to WETA Workshop as well, some great view inside one of the best prop makers around.

[@GabrielePeroni420]

[@flangmasterj]

This Gallipoli exhibit and the Britten V1000 are worth the trip.

[@TrevorDennis100]

We arrived on one occasion to find that the NZ Symphony Orchestra was putting on a free show. They did Peter & the Wolf upstairs in front of the Marae, which was fantastic as we were so close to them. But later on they did a medley of popular classics on the first floor, and we were able to stand right next to them. So close we could read the music of the violinists. It was an extraordinary experience that we will never forget. It is a wonderful museum with so much to see, and enough changes to keep it interesting. We are lucky to have it. I see that the Peter Jackson / Wellington Council collaboration has just failed, which is a pity. That would have been a major attraction.

[@chuffpup]

Rikihana Carkeek was my grandfather. He was wounded in that exchange, soon after the moment portrayed here. I read his diaries, and he described being treated rather poorly at the field hospital. Being a Maori soldier in ww1 was a constant battle against the prejudices of that time, but he survived, and lived to see some changes in society, partly because of the sacrifices made by Maori for king and country, during that terrible time.

[@chuffpup]

@@crunkwun Yeah it was a bit rough, but we did a lot better than some first nation people, and the first world War was bad for Pakeha too. The British are still quite class conscious, and New Zealand is pretty much over it (mainly). It was amazing to read his diaries though. Man, what a war.... terrible. That Peter Jackson film they restored was awesome. I think it's on BitChute somewhere. Cheers.

[@chuffpup]

@@jamiecole2096 Cool. I was pretty blown away by it... Thanks. A lot of guys never made it back, so I guess he was fortunate.

[@mrlegodude96alt2]

It's interesting to note that while most people don't ever think of New Zealand contributions to both wars (and from a strategic standpoint they didn't do much) but historian Sir Max Hastings and several others considered Kiwis (ww1 is not my area so I couldn't tell you one way or the other) in ww2 as the finest fighting men solider to solider, and indeed we see this with absolute titanic legends like Charles Upham, Jack Hinton and Bernard Freyberg (and several others I could go on and on about), almost always lacking in real officers, ammunition, food, artillery, anti aircraft, never with any allied air support, just normal farmers and everyday men, always outnumbered and thrusts not just against superior numbers but against troops that by any other metric should be better, and again, and again, and again, they overcome them. And after the war they just go home, back to their distant homes, and live their normal lives, on the other side of the world.

[@Derploop]

mrlegodude96alt2 not always outnumbered and outthought and surviving on ten bullets, a grenade, a pack of spam and grit. Those are just the times that people remember. New Zealand is an extremely macho, keep on plugging no matter the suffering society in its way, so it's not surprising their soldiers would have that rep. There's a reason for those shockingly bad youth suicide rates, but I guess those that make it through the meat grinder relatively intact are good at ignoring the suffering.

[@venomsnake225]

[@nicholasalvarado1508]

When I was a young man I carried my pack And I lived the free life of a rover From the Murrays green basin to the dusty outback I waltzed my Matilda all over Then in nineteen fifteen my country said Son It's time to stop rambling 'cause there's work to be done So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun And they sent me away to the war And the band played Waltzing Matilda As we sailed away from the quay And amidst all the tears and the shouts and the cheers We sailed off to Gallipoli How well I remember that terrible day How the blood stained the sand and the water And how in that hell that they called Suvla Bay We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter Johnny Turk he was ready, he primed himself well He chased us with bullets, he rained us with shells And in five minutes flat he'd blown us all to hell Nearly blew us right back to Australia But the band played Waltzing Matilda As we stopped to bury our slain We buried ours and the Turks buried theirs Then we started all over again Now those that were left, well we tried to survive In a mad world of blood, death and fire And for ten weary weeks I kept myself alive But around me the corpses piled higher Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over tit And when I woke up in my hospital bed And saw what it had done, I wished I was dead Never knew there were worse things than dying For no more I'll go waltzing Matilda All around the green bush far and near For to hump tent and pegs, a man needs two legs No more waltzing Matilda for me So they collected the cripples, the wounded, the maimed And they shipped us back home to Australia The armless, the legless, the blind, the insane Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla And as our ship pulled into Circular Quay I looked at the place where my legs used to be And thank Christ there was nobody waiting for me To grieve and to mourn and to pity And the band played Waltzing Matilda As they carried us down the gangway But nobody cheered, they just stood and stared Then turned all their faces away And now every April I sit on my porch And I watch the parade pass before me And I watch my old comrades, how proudly they march Reliving old dreams of past glory And the old men march slowly, all bent, stiff and sore The forgotten heroes from a forgotten war And the young people ask, "What are they marching for?" And I ask myself the same question And the band plays Waltzing Matilda And the old men answer to the call But year after year their numbers get fewer Some day no one will march there at all Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me And their ghosts may be heard as you pass the Billabong Who'll come-a-waltzing Matilda with me?

[@nicholassteiner8340]

I was hoping someone would post this song.

[@Derploop]

For those wondering, this is an Australian song, and Te Papa is in New Zealand. However, New Zealand and Australian troops tended to fight together. Hardy farm boys make better soldiers, I guess. Can't see the casualties back in Britain either. And fight together they did in Gallipoli, although from what I remember, there was a lot more dying. Something this song/poem does a great job of conveying.

[@thingymebob333]

As a New Zealander, it is a massive understatement to say i'm proud to see the overwhelming support for the Exhibit. The sacrifice our country made in this war changed our very identity as a nation to the individual, and it always holds an incredible weight in our hearts. I hope i'll be able to make my pilgrimage to Gallipoli soon, as many of my fellow kiwis have.

[@llamafromspace]

I left this exhibit crying my eyes out. It was so touching and highlighting how awful war is. Stunning artwork too. They all have pores and hairs just incredible detail

[@Darwinsmom]

I had the very great blessing of seeing this exhibit shortly after this opened. As you exit the exhibit there is a display showing the losses at Gallipoli, and I was stunned to see that the Royal Newfoundland Regiment participated in this campaign. It was terribly embarrassing to realize that I had forgotten that fact, considering that I did my basic reserves training with the Regiment and had learned their battle honours. At the gift shop I was thrilled to find replicas of the Military Cross for sale. My father had been regular force support to the Royal Newfoundland Regiment as a member of 2nd battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry who had been with Charlie Company prior to his posting to Newfoundland. One of my mother's kin also served with 2 PPCLI, Charlie Company when he was killed at Ypres and was awarded the Military Cross posthumously. Those tragic circumstances combined to make this exhibit exceptionally moving for me. If anyone gets the chance to see it, I cannot encourage you enough to take it in.

[@mcmoose64]

I caught this exhibition on a recent trip to NZ. It was the most stunning and moving experience. I had a lump I my throught and a tears in my eyes as I exited. Being an aussie I am very familiar with the Gallipoli story, it was it was great to see it from a Kiwi perspective.

I'm in New Zealand now, I've probably been through this display a thousand times. Very emotional experience every time.

[@marshman6926]

I went down to Wellington with some mates of mine. My friends and I visited Te Papa to check out this exhibit. At first we were all "Whoa, that's cool", "Hey, check this out", but as we went further and further into the exhibition we just got quieter and quieter until we all silently walked trough it. It really hits you hard. Quite a few of us got emotional. The giants are extraordinary. The detail on them are unreal. If you're going to New Zealand, Te Papa is a place you must visit!

Having done my basic military training with the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, which also fought at Gallipoli, I was thrilled and impacted by this exhibit in 2015. I had not been aware of this exhibit before my arrival in New Zealand, and it was one of the most powerful memories I brought away from that trip. I went on to serve in the regular forces as well after my service in the reserves, so it was incredibly powerful for me. Cannot recommend seeing this highly enough!
