American Journalist, Victoria Gaither, interviews Tawhiti Museum Founder & Creator, Nigel Olge, about this historical museum in Hawera, New Zealand. According to the museum website "The museum is divided into a series of themed galleries, each using scale and life-sized models as well as artifacts, photos, and test. All these displays are designed and built in the museum's studios. The smaller scale figurines are painstakingly sculpted in wax before a mold is made, allowing further copies to be cast." Nigel also talks about why museums must adapt and change with the times in order to reach people.
