For the third straight year, Game of Thrones: The Exhibition will hit the road to take Westeros around the world.
In what is becoming a yearly tradition, HBO will bring Game of Thrones: The Exhibition on a seven-city tour later this year. The exhibit will feature over 70 props and costumes from the epic fantasy series, which includes brand new pieces created for the upcoming Game of Thrones season 5.
Among the features returning to Game of Thrones: The Exhibition is the wildly popular “Ascend the Wall” 4D Oculus Rift virtual reality experience. “Ascend the Wall,” which debuted last year, takes visitors into Castle Black’s precarious elevator and up to the top of the 700-foot Wall manned by the Night’s Watch. Using headphones and the Oculus Rift headset, the installment provides “an unprecedented, immersive Game of Thrones experience.”
Fighting off brutal swarms of wildlings is optional, however.
This year’s edition of Game of Thrones: The Exhibition will also offer more interactive elements. Before entering the exhibit, fans will have the opportunity to pledge their allegiance to a noble House of Westeros. And once inside, several photo stations and other interactive elements will place fans “within some of Game of Thrones most shocking and talked-about moments.”
Game of Thrones: The Exhibition will visit London, Stockholm, Tel Aviv, Madrid, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Paris. Further locations may also be announced later in the year.
As always, admission to Game of Thrones: The Exhibition is free, but eager fans will be wise to arrive early. Wait times as long as seven hours have been reported in previous years, though many are unfazed; after all, fans of George R.R. Martin’s work are accustomed to waiting.
Game of Thrones season 5 will air this April on HBO.
