The Establishing Shot says Yes!! Behold! The Game of Thrones Touring Exhibition is coming to London - UPCOMING EXHIBITIONI'm pretty sure I don't need to tell you what The Game of Thrones is - the immensely addictive, engaging, shocking, sexy, twisting, tragic, bloody, exciting and uplifting TV adaptation of novelist and screenwriter George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones (part of his A Song of Fire and Ice series) has become a worldwide phenomenon and HBO's most watched series ever.

     The eagerly anticipated Season 7 of Game of Thrones arrives on 16 July (10 days from now) and we have just received this very exciting news. To support GOT Season 7 The Game of Thrones Touring Exhibition is coming to Europe, more specifically to London and it looks very immersive - hopefully we'll get to sit on the Iron Throne but it is still a little while before the tour kicks off.

     I have to say I am very excited about this, as I missed the 2015 exhibition and didn't get a change to experience the realm. The Game of Thrones: Touring Exhibition is hitting The King's Road and although no destinations have been confirmed we would be very surprised if London is not the first port of call for The Game of Thrones Touring Exhibition worldwide tour kicking of Autumn 2017.

     The first of the seven episodes that comprise Game of Thrones season 7 arrives on 16 July.

Inspired by and filled with the breathtaking images and enthralling artifacts from the hit HBO series GAME OF THRONES, this all-new exhibition will drop fans in the center of the Seven Kingdoms for an up-close and personal look at authentic props, costumes and set decorations from the show.  In collaboration with HBO Global Licensing, global events provider GES is designing and building the new 10,000-square-foot interactive experience, and will exclusively tour the exhibition to worldwide destinations starting Autumn 2017.

Featuring a unique mix of immersive environments, interactives, and multimedia content, visitors will experience the mythical lands of Westeros and Essos and relive the trials and tribulations of the series’ nobles and common folk alike who struggle for survival in the shadow of the Iron Throne.

In anticipation of the launch of the exhibition later this year, GES’ creative team will work closely with HBO to create diverse environments from Westeros and Essos and to design an exhibition as exciting as the show itself.  Spanning the Seven Kingdoms from King’s Landing to the land Beyond the Wall and across the Narrow Sea, GAME OF THRONES: THE TOURING EXHIBITION will allow fans worldwide to experience the craftsmanship and artistry of the GAME OF THRONES production up close in the largest public display to date.

Visitors to the exhibition will see displays of costumes, props, weapons and armor and will explore several dynamic themed exhibition areas featuring series settings such as:

- The wintry landscapes of the North, the tree-lined pathway of the King’s Road, and the regal settings of King’s Landing.

- The conquered city of Meereen with its garrisons of Unsullied warriors and the loyalists of House Targaryen.

- Iconic settings like the mysterious House of Black and White, the home of the Night’s Watch: Castle Black; and the frozen lands Beyond the Wall.

- The show stopping centerpiece of the iconic Iron Throne Room, where visitors can gaze upon the Westeros seat of power in all its foreboding glory.
GAME OF THRONES has truly become a worldwide phenomenon, with fans avidly watching the show throughout all corners of the globe,

Based on the stellar work GES has done with previous entertainment partners, we think this exhibition is going to be something fans will love, regardless of which part of the world they call home, and we’re excited to give them the opportunity to visit and celebrate the incredible craftsmanship of the talented GAME OF THRONES production team.”
