The Powerhouse Museum, located in Sydney, Australia, will soon be home to “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition”. The unique exhibition is based on the blockbuster film series and C.S. Lewis’ popular books.
The beloved Chronicles of Narnia series follows the adventures of Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter, who find a secret door in the back of a wardrobe to the magical world of Narnia.
“The Narnia exhibition combines science with the wonders of myth, magic and adventure created by the films and timeless work of C.S. Lewis. It is our hope that the exhibition will be a springboard for visitors to continue their scientific enquiry beyond Narnia; perhaps to other areas of the Museum such as our Ecologic exhibition that explores such issues as sustainable living and climate change today,”
says Dr. Dawn Casey, Director of the Powerhouse Museum.
Narnia scenes and characters will take visitors on on an entertaining, yet educational, journey.
The exhibit includes a replica of the White Witch’s Throne where visitors can feel the chill of the icy throne and learn about climate change and investigate whether our planet could be frozen for 100 years, like the world of Narnia.
There is also a model of King Miraz’s Castle, which offers visitors the opportunity to build an arch and learn about the principles of design and structure.
The exhibit opens at the Powerhouse Museum on May 12th 2012 and will run until August 26th.
