The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy – The Exhibition, the Science Museum’s exhibition exposing the secrets behind the making of the hit film trilogy, has welcomed its 100,000th visitor – just seven weeks after opening.<\/p>\n
The exhibition, which contains over 600 props from the films, has attracted fans young and old from all over Europe. Visitors enjoy an up-close-and-personal encounter with props, costumes and sets from the films before the final instalment of the film trilogy The Return of the King hits UK cinemas on December 18.<\/p>\n
The Science Museum is the only European venue to host the priceless exhibits. Visitors also have a chance to see the first two films of the trilogy at the Science Museum’s cinema.<\/p>\n
The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy – The Exhibition had already sold more advance tickets than any previous exhibition at the Science Museum. <\/p>\n
Opening hours have been extended to cope with demand and although some tickets are available at the door, advanced booking is the only way to guarantee entry.<\/p>\n
Head of the Science Museum, Jon Tucker, said: “We are delighted that the exhibition has been such a hit. We had record numbers of visitors during the half term holidays and our research shows that exhibitions like The Lord of the Rings are introducing a whole new audience to what the Museum has to offer.”<\/p>\n
