Curated Cinema: The Dam Busters

Join Collections Manager Darren Hammond for a special talk and screening of the aviation cinema classic, the Dam Busters.
Learn all about the Kiwi connections to the famous – and controversial – bouncing bomb raid on the Möhne, Eder, and Sorpe dams in Nazi Germany.
Hailed as a cinematic classic, The Dam Busters was also a box office buster - it was the most successful British film of 1955.
Darren started his working career at the RAF Museum in London and has been in the aviation heritage sector for more than 35 years.
His aim is to give the audience insights into the stories behind the controversial raid, as well as the film which immortalised the story.
And watch out for Curated Cinema: The Battle of Britain in July.
No need to book and we will have cushions to make you comfy.
This is the 1955 version and contains offensive language.
