Middle-earth has inspired creative minds of all types and acted as a Minecraft-like toolbox for generations of artists\, musicians\, filmmakers\, environmentalists\, and game designers. \nThe Magic of Middle-earth takes visitors on a journey beyond the books to explore that expansive artistic legacy. Discover stunning paintings\, incredible sculptures\, and 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!
