New interactive museum to commemorate WWI NZ soldiers

From Afternoons, 1:30 pm on 26 April 2022

There was some exciting news out over the weekend to mark ANZAC day.

Weta Workshop has teamed up with the New Zealand Memorial Museum Trust - Le Quesnoy to re-create a pivotal moment in our WW1 history - in Le Quesnoy itself.

The project will be a living memorial museum and visitor centre to honour New Zealand's history in the small French town.

Producer and Broadcaster Jude Dobson's on the museum trust helping to make this all happen. She talks to Wallace about their plans.
