Game of Thrones: The Exhibition

Winter has landed and HBO has brought us something totally off The Wall. The free Game of Thrones exhibition features nearly 100 props, weapons, costumes and bits and pieces from the show, as well as an Iron Throne for selfie opps and an Oculus Rift virtual reality experience that takes you to the edge of the Wall.

Overview

Days after winter has officially landed, HBO has gone and announced something totally off The Wall. The giants of television are bringing us Game of Thrones: The Exhibition at Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art Australia from July 1-5.

Presented by Google Play, the immersive exhibition will highlight all key GoT locations, characters and narrative ERHMAGHERD moments, with nearly 100 props, weapons, costumes and bits and pieces from the show — season four included.

Because they're Stark raving mad legends, Game of Thrones: The Exhibition will be open to the public FO FREE. It's been confirmed that the exhibition is the same one that has been touring the globe of late, so we're in for a big ol' dragon-sized treat. The existing HBO exhibition started in New York in January then moved on to Mexico City, Austin, Rio de Janeiro, Oslo, Toronto and Belfast and Vancouver. Included are cloaks galore, an Iron Throne you can sit on and an interactive virtual reality experience powered by Oculus Rift.

If the exhibition saw numbers anything like those from the Powerhouse's past Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings or Star Wars blockbusters, Google Play and HBO will rub some gleeful paws in the merchandising aftermath. With the amount of gore and boobery in GoT, however, major kiddie target markets are almost totally ruled out.

For all the details, check out the exhibition website. Read our interview with Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham here.
