‘Game of Thrones’ goes on display at London's O2 arena

Game Of Thrones fans can be torched by the dragon Drogon, clasp The Mountain’s sword, and even sit on the Iron Throne itself as part of an interactive exhibition ahead of the forthcoming fifth series.

The exhibition, at London’s O2 arena, gives fans of the fantasy series behind-the-scenes access to the world of Westeros.

More than 70 props and costumes from the fourth and fifth series are on display, including gowns worn by Missandei and Daenerys Targaryen, a Meereenese mask, and the nails and hammer used to crucify the Masters of Meereen.

Eddard Stark’s sword Ice is on display, as are Arya Stark’s Needle and Jorah Mormont’s blade and its peacock feather-decorated sheath.

Fans can also grasp the hilt of the 5ft 4in sword wielded by Gregor Clegane/ The Mountain — but in anticipation of not all Game Of Thrones viewers being as big as the 6ft 9in actor Hafthor Bjornsson, the giant broad-sword is held on a stand.

Visitors can also take part in the ultimate fan experience — being filmed and photographed re-enacting some of the show’s most shocking moments.

Fans can be engulfed by a breath of flames from the dragon Drogon, and can experience being “turned” by a White Walker, face frosted, and eyes turned blue.

A 4D “ascend the wall” virtual reality experience allows visitors to follow in the footsteps of Jon Snow and the Night’s Watch and ride the Castle Black winch elevator to the top of the 700ft ice wall, before being attacked by wildlings.

More than 2,800 different props have been developed for Game Of Thrones over the last four seasons. Approximately 4,700 weapons were used in the Battle of Blackwater Bay scene alone.
