'In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit….'
With those famous words J.R.R. Tolkien welcomed visitors into Middle-earth, a seemingly living breathing world both mythical and yet familiar. Regarded as the 'father' of modern fantasy literature, Tolkien's cultural influence has extended far beyond just other authors. Middle-earth has inspired creative minds of all types and acted as a Minecraft-like toolbox for generations of artists, musicians, film makers, environmentalists, and game designers.
The Magic Of Middle-earth takes visitors on a journey beyond the books to explore that expansive artistic legacy. Discover stunning paintings, incredible sculptures, even Middle-earth themed Lego sets. With family fun and kids activities this is an exciting exhibition for all ages. Whether you're a little halfling or a wizened wizard you won't want to miss this one.
The exhibition is curated by Matt Fox and is drawn from his personal collection of Tolkien memorabilia.
