LotR Exhibit at the Boston Museum of Science

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

I went to the exhibit at the Science museum on Sunday... Oh how cool! I spent two hours in there and still didn't see everything I wanted to! I would have stayed longer, but the rest of my group wanted lunch. wimps. Just kidding. High point for me was the picture I bought of my friend and I sitting in the scale thing so that she looked really tall and I looked like a hobbit. Very cool.

I didn't get to watch all the movies they had playing of interviews and stuff...one of my friends or my brother was always dragging me off to look at something else. So I think it would be worth my money to go again and hit the stuff I didn't get to see. Holding the sword was awesome, even though I don't think it was the one used in the movie. It was still cool. I also got to try lifting this tiny chainmail shirt, that might have been too small for a hobbit...and it was really heavy...eek! I can't imagine having to actually wear a full-size version of real chainmail.

It was so much fun, and I think well worth the money...If you get a chance to go, take it!

I loved being surrounded by a ton of Tolkien fans...it was awesome because pretty much everyone in the exhibit with us I could be sure was there because they loved LOTR.

I wore my cape, and most of my friends that went along did as well. It was fun, even though it was really really hot and humid... walking around Boston in a cape...way too hot. But fun anyway
