Live Days have been staples of @MOTATNZ ever since it opened in 1964. What better way to celebrate its 60th than with a very special Live Day?! Join me as I work my way around as much of the sights as I can.
Thanks to all the MOTAT team for assisting with filming. For the photographer who told me off for wearing a hi-vis vest, this was a request from MOTAT as I was going to be close to moving objects in spaces that visitors normally wouldn’t be.
