It’s time to rally the Realm – the Game of Thrones touring exhibition is officially opening its doors in Belfast this week.

The exhibition will open at the TEC Belfast on April 11 and run until September 1, 2019.

With costumes, authentic props and majestic settings from all seven seasons, guests will get an up-close and personal look at some of Westeros’ biggest moments.

And there are two never-before-seen sets, too: The Winterfell Crypt and Dragon Skull Pit.

Game of Thrones fans will be able to see the ancient dragon skulls, ranging in size from about that of an apple to the one belonging to Balerion the Dread, which decorated the throne room in the Red Keep until King Robert Baratheon had them hidden away in the catacombs.

They will also be able to see the vast and sacred crypt of Winterfell for the first time, guarded by stone direwolves, to pay their respects to six of the Stark ancestors as well as explore the settings and view authentic artefacts from:

• The wintry landscapes of the North
• The tree-lined pathway of the Kingsroad
• 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 House of Black and White
• The home of the Night’s Watch — Castle Black
• The frozen lands Beyond the Wall
• The show stopping centerpiece of the exhibition, the Iron Throne Room
Tourism NI’s Chief Executive, John McGrillen said:

We are delighted with the arrival of the exhibition and look forward to welcoming many more visitors here for the first official experience for fans in the UK and Ireland.

“Given the unique and central role that Northern Ireland has played in the life and legacy of the show, visiting the exhibition here will offer an authentic travel opportunity for fans to immerse themselves in the world of Westeros and explore some of the 26 spectacular filming locations which have formed the perfect backdrop for the world’s biggest TV show.”
