Game of Thrones exhibition headed to some new cities this year

Game of Thrones: The Exhibition was launched last year and gave fans in cities such as New York, Amsterdam, and Sao Paulo a chance to get up close and personal with some of the props and costumes from their favorite TV series. The event proved to be a hit, with crowds of people lining up for hours to gain admittance to the free exhibit. It should come as no surprise then that HBO will be bringing the traveling exhibit back again this year and this time they’ll be hitting a few new cities along the way.

Game of Thrones: The Exhibition will travel to NYC (exclusive to Time Warner Cable customers); Mexico City, Mexico; Austin, Texas at South by Southwest; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Oslo, Norway; Toronto, Canada; Belfast, Northern Ireland and Vancouver, Canada in 2014. This year’s exhibit will, an official press release states, “transport fans into the medieval world of the show via a collection of nearly 100 original artifacts from pivotal scenes in seasons 1, 2 and 3, plus select pieces from the fourth season premiering in 2014.” There will also be a new “immersive interactive experience” (in lieu of last year’s Battle of the Blackwater exhibit) that promises to place fans “within the world of Westeros”. And, of course, no Thrones event is complete without the Iron Throne.

The full press release, with exact dates and locations, can be found after the break.

Winter Is Coming: As long as you don’t mind waiting to get in, this is a pretty cool event, so I’m glad to see it return. Any of our readers that missed it last year planning on going this year? Or is any one planning on going again to see some of the new stuff?
