Game of Thrones exhibition | Belfast | June 2014

(http://rmchapple.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/game-of-thrones-exhibition-belfast-june.html ) I know, I know! This is supposed to be an archaeology blog, so what am I doing taking atangent off into the world of Game of Thrones? Well everything and nothing, I suppose.

The obligatory 'Iron Throne' photo

On one level, the books and TV show are a remarkably successful reworking of variousMedievally and Renaissancey vibes. On another, the costumes and props are testament to vastskill by a huge variety of amazing craftspeople. Both of these are wonderful and laudable, butits not why I wanted to share some images from the exhibition at the Waterfront Hall (whichclosed today, Sunday June 15th sorry). Beyond the actors, the CGI and all these fine

costumes, sets, and props, quite a bit of the TV show is filmed here in Northern Ireland, myadopted home. So many of the landscapes of Westeros (and some of Essos), so familiar on ourscreens, are all within driving distance of Belfast. Similarly, quite a few Northern Irish heritagesites also appear in supporting roles, helping bring this entire world to life. So, if youre a fan,or even if youve never heard of the show (where have you been for the last four+ years?), enjoy the photos and, perhaps, think about coming here to see the real locations for yourself.[Click on any image for larger versions]
