The long-running Gallipoli: The Scale of Our War is one of Te Papas most popular exhibitions, attracting over three million visitors since it opened in 2015. There is still strong visitor interest in the story of the disastrous Gallipoli campaign in which almost 3000 New Zealanders lost their lives. Just as the exhibition does so compellingly, so this book deploys Weta Workshops artistry to tell the story of the Gallipoli campaign through eight ordinary New Zealanders, the giants of the exhibition. With fold-out images, behind the scenes detail of how the giants were built and essays by those involved in the exhibition, this book is both a souvenir of Scale of Our War and an engaging way for readers to revisit the Gallipoli campaign.
