Small group early access tour of Gallipoli: The Scale of Our War at Te Papa, with a host-led visit before opening and international visitor entry included.

Tour Overview

Beat the crowds with early access to Gallipoli: The Scale of Our War at Te Papa, explored on a small group guided tour before the exhibition opens to the public. The quieter setting gives this subject matter the peace and stillness it deserves, with time to take in the detail and scale of the experience.

Created by Te Papa in partnership with Weta Workshop, Gallipoli: The Scale of Our War has received international acclaim and multiple awards. With an expert host leading the way, you will learn more about Te Papa’s well-known exhibition and the battles that shaped this culturally defining event.

Inside the exhibition, eight extraordinary New Zealanders are shown frozen in time at 2.4 times human size. Their scale changes the way you move through the space, drawing attention to facial expressions, uniforms, and the physical realities of war. The ANZAC story is further explored through 3D maps and projections, along with miniatures, models, dioramas, and interactive experiences that add context to what you are seeing.

This tour includes the international visitor entry charge. Domestic tour pricing is available on the website.
