LotR: The Exhibition

Here is a replica of one of the Argonath seen near the end of FotR. In the actual film, the large stones were completely computer-generated. WETA Workshops created these replicas for this traveling exhibit.

Here are the two Argonath on the main floor of the Indiana State Museum. Once we got up to the third floor, camera's were off limits. So, my actual photos of the exhbit are very limited.

Here is a view of the surrounding buildings in the downtown Indianapolis area. The day was beautiful. I almost wish we hadn't spent the entire time inside or on a highway. To the left of the central building is the RCA Dome. We were lucky that the NFL Colts were on a bye week or this entire area would have been swarming with football fans. To the right is a factory that is sort of picturesque and might be entirely decorative.

A poster that could save me a lot of needless exposition and typing.

Another view of the Argonath, intended to show the inscription carved on the polystyrene. Can you see it? (I took these pictures from the second floor landing, by the way, lest you think I am levitating David Blaine style.)
