The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition

Overview

Step through the the mystical wardrobe and bring your childhood literary fantasies to life at The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition. Based on the hit film adaptations of C.S. Lewis' legendary books, the exhibition finally lets you explore the magical world you read about and watched on screen. Let the magic unfold as you wander through this incredible, hands-on exhibition.

Once you have traveled through its 'wardrobe' and into the exhibit space, marvel at the place where all the magic began in a replica of Lewis' writing study. The stories leap off the pages throughout the rest of the exhibition as visitors are invited to touch the icy replica of the White Witch's throne, or run their hand over a frozen waterfall. Each bit has an informative or scientific component, connecting the mystical to our reality. Visit King Miraz's castle, or create your own Narnia-dwelling creature; lift (or attempt to lift) the armour displayed in the film's battle scene, admire the other costumes, or learn about the physics involved in a catapult.

This Powerhouse Museum exhibition will thrill any C.S. Lewis and Narnia fan with its sheer multitude of activities and film artifacts to see. Diehard fans (akin to devotee, actress Christina Ricci, who sports an Aslan tattoo) should consider attending the exhibition's opening weekend.
