National Army Museum (New Zealand)
The National Army Museum (Maori - ''Te Mata Toa'') is the museum of the New Zealand Army. It was formerly known as the Queen Elizabeth II Army Memorial Museum.〔(National Army Museum ), www.armymuseum.co.nz Retrieved 22 March 2009.〕 It is situated 94 minutes south of Taupo on State Highway One,〔(Ruapehu towns: Waiouru ). New Zealand Travel. Retrieved 22 March 2009.〕 on the southern side of the small military town of Waiouru. The 1300 square metre museum is fortress-looking in design, complete with a bridge and moat. It took the 2nd Field Squadron of the Royal New Zealand Engineers (RNZE) 276 days to build,〔(Background History of the Army Museum Waiouru 30 Years On. ) Retrieved March 25, 2009.〕 and was opened in October 1978.〔〔Chamberlain, H. E. (1973). A brief chronology of the history of the Corps of Royal New Zealand Engineers / prepared at the School of Military Engineering; for the Museum of the Corps of Royal New Zealand Engineers. Linton, New Zealand: School of Military Engineering.〕
According to the museum's literature,〔 it functions as a memorial to those who have fallen, to those who have served and are still serving, and to the battles fought by New Zealand soldiers. It is also a research, teaching and training facility of New Zealand's military history. Associated literature〔Wolfe, R. (2007). With honour: Our army, our nation, our history. North Shore, New Zealand: Viking.〕 reveals "the museum serves as a place of connection between visitors and the nation's military past, a place where people can engage with real life stories and experiences and discover how these conflicts have shaped the nation".
The museum offers a number of facilities and experiences which include a gift shop, the Rations Cafe, the Kippenberger Research Library, and the Tears on Greenstone Memorial. On display are many and varied collections, including weapons, war memborilia, military vehicles, exhibitions of battles (which mark anniversaries important in New Zealand's military history), a huge medal collection exhibiting medals associated with New Zealand and its army, and lifelike displays of twelve of the biggest campaigns that New Zealand troops have been involved in. "Kidz headquarters" provides children with fun learning activities.〔
==Tears on Greenstone==
The Tears on Greenstone or Roimata Pounamu〔(Tears on Greenstone. ) New Zealand Army. Retrieved 23 March 2009.〕 is a large wall made of greenstone. It serves as a memorial for the 30,000 plus service men and women who have sacrificed their lives for their country. The water cascading down the southern hemisphere's largest greenstone structure represents the tears of endless mourning, and is accompanied by an audio system reciting the names of the fallen.〔〔 There is a touch screen near the Memorial where visitors can search for names of people lost in battle and hear those names read aloud.〔
