The Lord of The Rings Motion Picture Trilogy: The Exhibition - Props and Costumes

Props and Costumes

While the Exhibit could not possibly hope to contain anywhere near a majority of the props and costumes used in the making of the films, many of the most major elements are represented, as well as most of the major characters. The One Ring is displayed in its own small room, dark and with its engraving projected onto the walls. Quotes from the film echo through the chamber: "Cast it into the fire! Destroy it!", "Azg nazg durbatuluk". Many intricate costumes are on display, including various suits of armor of Gondor, Rohan, the Elves, Rangers, Orcs, Uruk-hai, and Nazgûl, as well as the costumes, robes, weapons and suits of armor of Gandalf the Grey, Saruman, Frodo Baggins, Gimli, Legolas, Aragorn, Arwen, Galadriel, and Théoden. Most of the Rings of Power are displayed as well, the only exception being the Seven Rings of the Dwarf-lords, which were barely seen in the books or the films.

Famous quotes containing the words props and/or costumes:

    He took the props down used for propping open,
    And set them up again for propping shut,
    The widespread double doors two stories high.
    The advantage-disadvantage of these doors
    Was that tramp taking sanctuary there
    Must leave them unlocked to betray his presence.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Clothes make a statement. Costumes tell a story.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
