Labeled as a gift from HBO to the faithful followers, the Game of Thrones new exhibition kicked off yesterday in Mexico City and will last until Wednesday (2/19). However, there are no tickets left for today or the next three days as 18,000 lucky Mexican fans reserved all the available admissions weeks ago.
More than 100 original artifacts from the series, including costumes, weapons and models, compose the exhibition, with the Iron Throne being the only replica. Fans are in for a real treat as the showing also brings Will Simpson's storyboards, a virtual reality "Ascend the Wall" interactive experience, and even a really cool dragon head from the upcoming fourth season.
Game of Thrones The Exhibition will travel to six other cities during 2014: Austin (at SXSW, 3/7 - 3/11), Rio De Janeiro (4/5 - 4/9), Oslo (4/26 - 4/30), Toronto (5/14 - 5/18), Belfast (dates to be announced), and Vancouver (8/16 - 9/1). I was fortunate enough to see it in Mexico City and, of course, took some pictures, now displayed in the gallery below. Take a look...
