Game Of Thrones Exhibition Makes Its First Stop In Toronto.
Winter is coming early for Game Of Thrones fans in Toronto!
From March 9-16, Game Of Thrones: The Exhibition will be settling into the Design Exchange to immerse fans into the world of Westeros, before heading off to New York, Sao Paolo, Amsterdam, and Belfast.
Similar to last year’s sold-out Bell Lightbox event, but rather than focusing on props, costumes and weaponry, the exhibition his time around will focus on the five main houses in the show (Stark, Lannister, Targaryen, Baratheon and Greyjoy) and feature more than 70 original artifacts from the series’ first two seasons as well as some from season 3.
This will be a free, ticketed event!
Courtesy of Winteriscoming.net, here’s a breakdown of the main features to look forward to:
Costumes, props, armor and weapons– Artisans, whose superb craftsmanship has provided authenticity to the medieval world of the show, worked closely with HBO to curate the exhibit with items including: an impressive costume display overseen by the show’s costume designer Michele Clapton who dressed the mannequins to ensure accuracy in the presentation of the extraordinarily detailed garments, iconic artifacts such as 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 in the show), crowns, jewelry, books and much more.
Backwater 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.
Iron Throne – Fit for any king or queen, fans will be able to take their photo on a precise replica of the iron throne from the series.The exhibit will also display an array of official Game of Thrones licensed collectable merchandise from the HBO Shop®.
