HBO’s sending items from seasons one and two of Game of Thrones out on the road as part of a traveling exhibition which will be free to the public. According to HBO, the international Game of Thrones exhibition will kick off in Toronto on March 9, 2013 showcasing key characters from the Stark, Lannister, Targaryen, Baratheon and Greyjoy houses via a collection of more than 70 artifacts from the first two seasons of the series.
In addition to Toronto, the traveling exhibit will stop in New York City, Sao Paulo, Amsterdam, and Belfast.
Per HBO, the exhibit will include the following items built by New Project LLC:
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.
