The Magic of Middle-earth Exhibition
Exhibition open at The Novium Museum from 1 April - 24 September 2023
Admission: £4 adults, £2.50 children and £12 family of five (maximum 2 adults). Book online: www.thenovium.org/magicofmiddleearth
The Magic of Middle-earth presents a magical treasure trove of objects and artworks celebrating the epic fantasy novels 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings'.
This exciting exhibition is dedicated to the incredible fantasy worlds brought to life by J.R.R. Tolkien and the generations of creators his writing has influenced.
Tolkien was an English writer, poet, philologist, and academic. He is best known as the author of 'The Hobbit' (1937) and 'The Lord of the Rings' (1954). Regarded as the 'father' of modern fantasy literature, Tolkien's cultural influence has extended far beyond other authors. Middle-earth has inspired creative minds of all types and acted as a Minecraft-like toolbox for generations of artists, musicians, film makers, environmentalists and game designers - most recently inspiring Amazon's 2022 blockbuster series 'Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power'. The Magic of Middle-earth will take visitors on a journey beyond the books to explore that expansive artistic legacy.
The exhibition features over 200 incredible artworks and objects from across the decades including:
A rare first edition copy of The Hobbit from 1937;
Dramatic models and dioramas including The Battle of Helms Deep;
Concept artwork, theatre, music and movie-inspired memorabilia and prop replicas;
Stunning paintings of dragons, Ents and Elves and artwork illustrating Tolkien's deep passion for the natural world;
Middle-earth inspired video games and LEGO sets;.
A soundscape including music by Howard Shore, who composed, orchestrated, conducted and produced the music of 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy (2001 - 2003) and 'The Hobbit' film series (2012 - 2014).
The exhibition includes gallery interactives in the 'Hobbiton' family area: take a selfie in a Hobbit chair and experience the surprise of an animatronic version of Smaug the Dragon! 'Little halflings' can get into character with fancy dress costumes and follow a Mystical Quest trail through the museum.
Relaxed SEN Sessions are available on selected dates throughout the run of the exhibition. Our relaxed sessions are aimed at people with autism and other needs, as well as their families and carers to be able to enjoy The Magic of Middle Earth in a relaxed atmosphere with limited numbers. All background sound, including Smaug the animatronic dragon, will be turned off for the duration of this session.

      Some pigments are the same the green for example but depending on the location and time period the pigments change. The book the materials and techniques of medieval painting by David v Thompson has a comprehensive list of you're interested.

    Incorrect, plant material can be turned into pain. Plenty of UA-cam videos showing how to do so. Same process, powder the the dried plant material then do everything as you do with minerals. Humans have used plant material to make paint since the dawn of man.

    • @michaelah1001
      @michaelah1001 Місяць тому

      Plant dyes weren't often used in frescos (most of the surviving art of the time) due to the lime stone being too caustic to the dyes. So while they were used for dyeing cloth and other fiber arts they were rarely used in painting until about 70 b.c. when they (the Romans) learned wax painting from the Egyptians.(Though no surviving Roman encaustic art has been found, references were made by pliny the elder in his natural histories).

    do pigment extracted from coal can be considered as a mineral pigment/paint

    • @snakewithapen5489
      @snakewithapen5489 Рік тому

      i don't think so by technicality since coal is not a mineral and is made from compressed fossils. However it might act the same way in a practical application, being mostly carbon?

    • @stormmoster
      @stormmoster Рік тому

      I haven't seen that coal have been used as a pigment, but charcoal, soot and burnt bones are all used as pigment. You can buy paints made from those pigments in the nearest art material shop.
