LOTR Costume/Props exhibit - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I went to this exhibit when it was in Sydney (last year? I can't remember exactly when :P )

The costumes also blew me away. And all of the art that was framed. It's something completely different seeing it up close to having it tacked to your wall

I stared at the "dead Boromir in a boat" for a good few minutes (there was a queue backing up behind me...). He scared the life out of me!

Yeah, great exhibition. Is it still touring?

I very much enjoyed seeing the LotR exhibition last summer in Houston. Now it's coming to Germany! It will be shown in the Babelsberg Filmpark in Potsdam in February, March and April, 2007. For those interested, here's more information: HdR Ausstellung.

Apparently I already missed this lovely exhibit. It's already come and gone to Boston back in 2004.

*sighs* If only I had been able to enter college two years earlier....

Oh! Is this still around? It's been going for quite a while, I'm surprised! I sort of assumed that by now it would have been retired...to where, I don't know, since they supposedly can't set up a permanent museum...wow.

I saw it in Boston back in August 2004...I didn't have all the time I'd have liked to look around and see everything and watch all the little interview movies, so I'd love to go see it again.

Is it ever coming back to the States (Specifically the Boston area since it's not out of the question for me to get there) or is it done here for good? Does anyone know?
