Te Papa's popular Gallipoli exhibit is going to be around for another seven years. 

The Scale Of Our War exhibit, which showcases giant Weta Workshop made sculptures of New Zealanders at war, was meant to close in 2019. 

But it's been extended three times now, the latest extension stretching to 2032. 

Te Papa's Kate Camp told Andrew Dickens it's the most popular exhibit the country's ever seen. 

She says the sculptures do have a shelf life, but they've been surprised by how long they've lasted, so they want to see it continue.
