‘Game of Thrones’ will come alive for fans in an immersive, not-to-be-missed touring exhibition that will transport viewers into the breathtaking and enchanted world of Westeros. The traveling exhibit, the first of its kind by HBO, will stop in five international cities - Toronto, New York City, Sao Paolo, Amsterdam and Belfast. Presented by HBO and international partners, the exhibition is free to the public and focuses on key characters from five of the noble houses: Stark, Lannister, Targaryen, Baratheon and Greyjoy. It will showcase a trove of more than 70 original artifacts from Seasons 1 and 2, plus select pieces from this year’s new season.
The exhibit was built by New Project LLC and includes:
Costumes, props, armor and weapons –
Artisans, whose superb craftsmanship provide authenticity to the show’s medieval fantasy setting, worked closely with HBO to curate the exhibit. Costume designer Michele Clapton oversaw an impressive display of extraordinarily detailed garments. Other iconic artifacts include the model dragons, weaponry (King Joffrey’s crossbow, daggers and swords such as “Ice” and “Longclaw”), armor (helmets, shields and full suits of armor worn by key characters), crowns, jewelry, books and much more.
Blackwater Bay Interactive Experience –
Fans will get an opportunity to participate in an exciting interactive experience that will place them amid the action of the epic Battle of Blackwater Bay from Season 2.
The exhibit will also display an array of official ‘Game of Thrones’ licensed collectable merchandise from the HBO Shop.
