The life of Nelson Mandela is being commemorated in a new exhibition on display at Eden Park. Over 200 artefacts, documents and paintings from the Nelson Mandela Foundation are on display in this exhibition for the first time outside South Africa. Curator Emily Siddons joins Lynn to discuss how Eden Park - scene of so much disruption during the 1981 Springbok Tour - was chosen as a location.
