I have to agree, even having been quite intimate with the whole attack, and having worked on the diorama, process I found it quite overwhelming, trying to explain it to my family. Even for military enthusiasts such as ourselves static maps can be hugely confusing. I found that the animated 3D map of Chunuk Bair (with projection from above) at Te Papa brought the whole attack into vivid life. Once my family had seen tha, t the diorama makes a lot more sense. What are the chances of duplicating that for the NZ Room?

This shows the diorama is really engaging the viewers.

It will place the diorama in geographic context, identify the main features and show the preliminary and subsequent battles, such as the Mounted Rifle Brigade attacks the day before.Armchair Generalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07162514435852177403noreply@blogger.com
