Gallipoli Exhibition at Te Papa Museum Wellington

Hi everyone!

Time to explore Wellington and I would love to share my love to the museums. Wellington will be the best place for those museum lovers like me, as this capital city is packed with world - class museum.

the Maori Gate at Te Papa Museum

One of the best museum in town is Te Papa Museum. This national museum is indeed a nation pride. Spread in 6 different floors, this museum certainly has a lot to offer.

I got a chance to visit Te Papa Museum in one weekend. One of the highly recommended exhibitions they have there is the Gallipoli Exhibition called Gallipole, the Scale of Our War. 

As I stepped into the giant entrance gate of the Gallipoli Exhibition, I knew I would be blown away by its bleak yet interesting details about this horrific war. Focusing on the stories and personal memories of some of the New Zealanders who were part of the war, the exhibition gives you the vivid reminder of how horrible war is, especially this war. Through photos, videos, posters, narrations, dioramas, statues, simulations and more, the exhibition is giving you detailed information from the D-1 of this NZ troops landing in Gallipoli, until the end of it. 

Here are some photos I took at Te Pa Pa Museum Wellington during my last visit.

Interestingly and touchingly displaying the personal stories of those involved in this horrible war, the exhibition showed you a lot of history and human touch, as well as the horrible impacts of war. 

I personally learnt a lot about the war and how horrible the faith that fell upon those soldiers as well as medical officers who were trapped in Galipoli. My heart wept as I saw the tolling numbers of the death and the terrifying condition of them.

As you all are probably aware of, Galipoli has become one of the vivid reminders of the horrible World War I. 

The exhibition is not only displaying the stories of the soldiers, but also the nurses and the doctors. In those dioramas, there are narration being read, telling us the story of these persons. I was so sad when I heard the story of Staff Nurse Lottie who was looking for her brother, Leddie,  but couldn't find him and then stayed to take care of the wounded soldiers at the hospital ship, Maheno, which sailed from Wellington in July 1915.

Here are some more photos I took on the exhibition.

Here's the entrance to the Te Papa Museum in Wellington. I have to say, one visit is never enough and we can go back here anytime as the entrance is free.

I have put the video of my visit to the exhibition on my YouTube channel as well. Feel free to check it out:

So what do you think? 

Will you come and visit Te Papa Museum as well? 

If you are around, I will be more than happy to take you here and I can definitely explore more!

See you on our next adventure in Aotearoa!

WW: Matariki Celebration 2022 in Wellington

 

Matariki Celebration 2022 in Wellington was truly a big and lively event.

Matariki, the new year of the Māori, is celebrating the beginning of the new year as well as remembering the past and celebrating the present. Matariki is the time for whanau or the family to gather. Family is very important for the Maori and essentially for all of us as well. It’s also the time to reflect as the ancestors have been providing us all with many important lessons in life. 

Matariki, or ‘tiny eyes’ or the ‘eyes of God’ in Maori, is also another name of Pleiades or the seven sisters. This amazing star constelation can be recognized in many parts of the world as well.

These are some of the photos I took during the celebration, which included the prayer session, light shows, expositions and fireworks!

I have also put the video on my Youtube channel about this celebration.

Join us on (almost) Wordless Wednesday and have fun with the link party

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

Hi everyone...

Always happy to be back here and are you ready for our Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends? Great then!

This week I have been bombarded by so many functions, meetings and work.

It's great that I still have sometimes to join International Yoga Day 2022 celebrated at the Beehive, New Zealand Parliament, hosted together by the High Commission of India and some members of the NZ Parliament. 

It has been quite sometimes since I did my yoga but I was super thrilled to go back to the mat.

So peaceful...

Then we also have all the series of activities and celebration of Matariki, the New Year for the Māori. Here we celebrate the new yer while remembering the past, celebrating the present and of course looking for the future.
