Peter Jackson and Richard Taylor are partnering with Te Papa to re-create a First World War ‘trench experience’ as part of the War’s Centenary commemorations.

“We will be recreating the Quinn’s Post trench, the most famous position in the ANZAC line on Gallipoli. Our aim is to make the experience as realistic as possible. This experience will bring home the detail and grain of unimaginable horror, the squalid day-to-day existence, the food, the lice, and the dysentery. But above all, the exhibition will remember the bravery and sacrifice of all the men who fought and those who died in the War. This will be a uniquely powerful experience of our history,” said Michael Houlihan.
