Heh, me again...
I found some nice links about the exhibition so 'ere they are:
Piece from Look North (local news) on the exhibition:

Weta website which has lots more info on it, including a gallery and details of some events.

Apparently this is a one-off thing, as the curator of Royal Armouries is friends with Richard Taylor of Weta. A special LotR 'evening' is being planned for November too.
EDIT - pics aren't that exciting, I wish I'd put some pants onto the head of Lurtz now
However I'm quite pleased with the photo of the Cave Troll. Very Ballardian, like the creature has been trapped in some dystopian vision:
