Operation Grapple; Floor Talk event

Operation Grapple – We Were There is a powerful photography exhibition by Denise Baynham which tells the story of Operation Grapple through the portraits of 19 NZ nuclear test veterans and their stories.

Join Denise for a fascinating floor talk, accompanied by some of Operation Grapple survivors on the mezzanine level of the museum.

Operation Grapple was a nuclear testing program in the Pacific in 1957-58, which RNZ Navy personnel took part in. A largely unknown chapter in NZ history, Operation Grapple has left a sad and ongoing legacy for those that took part, their offspring and future generations to come.

Entry to the floor talk and the exhibition is free. Seating will be available.
