 The imposing, ornate wharenui (Maori meeting house) in the Te Marae gathering place at Te Papa Museum in Wellington, New Zealand. |
A stroll through three of the English-speaking world's great museums - ones designed to inspire rather than merely inform. The Te Papa Museum in Wellington, New Zealand tells the stories of two civilisations with static and intreractive displays, objects and illusions, films and photographs, tools and toys, all evoking emotion and excitement. In the town of Cody, Wyoming a slice of classic Americana, the Buffalo Bill Historical Centre, well earns its New York Times praise as a "magnificent documentation of pure west". London’s Shakespeare's Globe Exhibition is nothing less than the largest exhibition in the world dedicated to the wily William and his works - the recipient of the Golden Star Award of the EFATJ - effectively taking on the mantle of the best attraction in Europe. Comes with a dazzling array of images.
