“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition” at The Franklin in Philadelphia
November 28, 2008 by Jason DeBord
An exhibition based on the two Narnia films (The Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian), based on the works of C.S. Lewis, is being held at The Franklin in Philadelphia, PA through April 19, 2009.
More information, including photos and a promotional video about “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibit”, can be found FI.edu:
Per the website:
The Exhibition combines sets, original props and newly created interactives to produce an engaging exhibit to both delight and drive home a powerful message about the stewardship of the environment.
Once past the Wardrobe, students can explore immersive, themed “scenes,” beginning with a wintry Narnian world, complete with falling snow and cold wind, as seen in the movie. They will visit the White Witch’s Ice Palace and sit on her icy throne to feel the chill. A nearby display describes the impact of climate change on our planet.
Another area features King Miraz’ Castle from the most recent film, Prince Caspian. There, students can build an arch from the ground up, learning about keystones, architectural structure and design strategy used to build strong castles, bridges and battlements in Narnia and on Earth.
Your tour of Narnia will also include the castle Cair Paravel, a medieval catapulting weapon, and heavy chain-mail armor from the medieval world of Prince Caspian.
