A major exhibition celebrating the fantasy world created by J.R.R Tolkien, and the generations of artists, musicians and authors it has inspired is making its way to Gosport Museum and Art Gallery.
Middle - earth is a place both mythical and familiar. This seemingly living, breathing world came into being because of Tolkien’s unique approach to fantasy. Tolkien suggested that fantasy was a secondary world which our mind enters. He likened the experience to cleaning the windows of the consciousness so that once readers return to the familiarity of the everyday, they see the wonder of the world anew.
The Magic Of Middle - earth takes visitors on a journey beyond the books to explore that expansive artistic legacy. Collector Matt Fox has brought together a magical treasure trove of stunning paintings, incredible sculptures, and even Middle – earth themed Lego sets. An exhibition of family fun for all ages, from little halflings to wizened wizards, immerse yourself in Middle-earth and the many ways it has been reinterpreted since Tolkien first penned those famous words, “In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit…”
