Lord of the Rings

My family went to see the Lord of the Rings exhibit at the Museum of Science today- WOW! While the other members of the family admired the exhibits of digital animation and special effects, I was mesmerized by the costumes. The textiles are beautifully done, but the metal work- jewelry, armor and weaponry are unbelievable. No photography is allowed and I was frowned at when I took out my sketch book, which is sad because I am sure that no book will ever come out that will show the details of what I’m interested in. I would recommend this show to any artist/ craftsperson- even if you aren’t a LOTR fan- I’m not… I only went to the first movie. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is amazing.
