Inside Sydney's Game Of Thrones Exhibition: Winter Is Here

Ever wanted to know how tall Hodor, Brienne or The Hound are? Or how small Tyrion or Arya are? All of the questions and more can be answered by checking out the Game Of Thrones: The Exhibition.

Actor Liam Cunningham, who plays Davos Seaworth. Hands in pockets do not denote missing fingers.

With over 100 original artefacts on display, the costumes take pride of place as virtually all of the major characters have outfits put on view – although ironically all we could remember seeing of Davos Seaworth (the character played by guest of honour at the launch Liam Cunningham) were his fingers in a pouch and one of the books he learned to read. What strikes you is the details of these costumes, from the designs on armour to just how heavy some of them must be to wear. While it is these life size items that catch your eye, there are a few cool little props in glass cases, like various weapons and jewellery, plus art design sketches and props. We liked a dragon's head prop too, made to give actors a reference point, which was affectionately known as Stuffy.

The stumpy hand that immediately followed the cutting-off incident was also floating around the exhibition.

A nice touch was the In Memoriam wall, with pictures of characters that have died during the course of the show's four seasons. A not so nice touch was what were clearly merchandising items in one display (granted they were cool to look at, but we don't remember the part in Game Of Thrones about the Hand Of The King brooch doubling as a USB drive for example. We still want one though). Look on the walls too as you'll pass house banners without even realising it. Big ticket items include a replica of the Iron Throne (get a selfie on it!) and an interactive experience that lets you ascend The Wall and look out over the northern frontier (it's so immersive, we witnessed a few people holding on to balance, despite the exhibit not moving), which adds another level to simply wandering around and looking at things.

Although there's a lot on display, the overall size of the exhibition feels smaller than it should be for what's on show and you can easily take it all in. It's a must for all Game Of Thrones fans, giving a tangible quality to a fantasy show.
