Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History in partnership with Wairarapa Archive launched the opening of the WW100: Wairarapa exhibition on Friday night. The "pop-up" display features a number of men from the Wairarapa region who went off to fight in the war for our freedom. Photographer Lynda Feringa popped along to capture the opening of the display which will run until September 7. Admission is by gold coin. Once the exhibition closes it will travel throughout the region to be displayed in libraries and railway stations as billboards.
