Sir Don McKinnon: NZ Memorial Museum Trust chair on museum honouring Kiwi soldiers due to open in France this year - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

A museum honouring New Zealand soldiers is due to open in France this year.

The New Zealand Liberation Museum will open in mid-October.

Weta Workshop has built part of the exhibit, which honours the Kiwi soldiers who freed the French town of Le Quesnoy in 1918.

New Zealand Memorial Museum Trust chair Sir Don McKinnon told Tim Dower it's highly significant.

“The special thing is, this will finally be a place on the Western Front where you can hear about and read about the New Zealand stories.”
