It's been described as the 'Oscars of the Museum world' and our very own MOTAT - Auckland Tāmaki Makaurau's Museum of Transport and Technology has won big. Earlier this month it took out the International Exhibition of the Year at the Museums + Heritage Awards for its Te Puawānanga Science and Technology Centre. Simon Gould is Head of Exhibitions at MOTAT and joined Jesse to tell him all about it.
