The Papakura Museum is hosting a touring exhibition developed by the NZ Rugby Museum in Palmerston North.

‘Balls, bullets & boots, from rugby field to battlefield’ is a unique WWI commemorative exhibition that tackles the story of wartime rugby. The life stories featured in the exhibition aim to encapsulate the range of wartime experiences Kiwis 100 years ago would have had. The fifteen rugby players and coach were brought together through their love of rugby and their selection for the exhibition ‘XVI’.

Visitors enter the exhibition through the stylised walls of a 1914 changing room before they meet their on-screen guide, Anton Oliver, a former All Black. Anton takes you through an immersive graphics-backed space where audio, film, artifact and lighting provides the visitor with a multi-media journey. Travel from the rugby fields of home to the battlefields and back again, to a country where lives are changed forever by the shadow of war.

This exhibition is family friendly and ideally suited for ages 10+. We would love to see you there!
