    • did u HAVE to rub it in?! *sobbing*
      No, haha, I’m just kidding, but i’m glad you really liked it. Who knows? Maybe it’ll come back to the Philly area…

        • Hahaha! Who knew? That’s really funny 😀
          Did you like the way the Franklin Institute had it set up?

          • nice, i almost went to buffalo’s to compare, but figured the first time ws so special, i didn’t ant to wreck the memory. i guess it’s set up differently each place. same stuff though.

    • i saw it in Edmonton for no extra charge. We just had to pay the science center admission fee. Yes, it was AMAZING!!!! I didn’t realize until the very end that it was the actual movie props, though…so I need to see it again…and acknowledge that it’s the movie props, not just replicas. They don’t have any VDT props though, just LWW and PC.

  6. I live in WI darn darn darn!!!!!!!!!! His series of biooks hjave played a very key role in my life, and they are like family. anyway-thanks C.S. Lewis!!!! I really do wish I could go!!1 sad face. Tear. 🙁 :'(

    • I saw that yesterday, it is neat; but I don’t like it; that’s just not me i guess.
      (not my style/ I am a ‘middle age’ freak…lol!), but thanks for showing. The wardrobe is cool. No one would think of a bed in there!
      It’s really cool what people come up with…

    • Oooh! SO pretty! idk if I’d want to sleep INSIDE the wardrobe, I’m a bit claustraphobic. :/

  9. Yes!!! I’ve always wanted it to come to Oregon! I was afraid I’d never be able to see it!

  10. *sobbing* It came to Philly and I was only 45 MINUTES AWAY, but I didn’t cease the opportunity to go. 🙁 I’m so sad. Whenever i see this stuff, I feel like fate is laughing in my face, lol. 🙂
    It looks like a georgeous display, though. My best friend went and she had the time of her life, PLUS she brought me back Turkish delight!
    To anyone in Oregon: This is a once in a lifetime experience! DON’T MISS IT! …like i did 🙁

      • Hahaha, i saw your comment above, High Queene. 🙂
        My best friend went on the last day, and she said that they had taken out the lampost! I thought that sounded terrible, to go to an awesome Narnia exhibit, but without a lampost. That should be illegal or something. The turkish delight was yummy, though. And they had cool postcards! 😀

        • they had all sorts of merchandise you probably never heard about, it was amazing. and great turkish delight! chocolate covered yummmmm

          • yeah! my best friend brought me back some. I totally loved it 😀

    • yes, but each museum chooses what stuff they want to sell, so some museums offerings may be bigger than others. the philadephia exhibit had probably every possible item. The huge statues, books, sheilds, shirts, 8 watches, small toys, large toys, 6 different mugs, games, pins, pencils, pens. jewelry. like when you go to disneyworld, in the souvenir shops, everything possible. 2 rooms full of differnt stuff.

      • awsome… i came from a diferent country to go to this exhibition… I really hope I can get some cool stuff, thanks for the info…

  13. Wait…is it going BACK around again? Becauase I went to it when it was in Huntsville (I also wrote the report that Paul put up here) and it was AMAZING!!!!
    Is there more in it now?

    • oh yeah…they had the journal and the gold treasure from goldwater/dragon island…and a few of the 7 swords. i think that was it tho.

      • All I saw when I went was the journal, torch and picture… you know what was REALLY upsetting? They didn’t have room to display everything…so they had loads of stuff in trucks outside!!! I wanted soooo bad to go looking through the trucks!!!!!

  15. I would love to see this exhibit. Is there any chance it might ever come to the UK? Anybody who’s been what kind of merchandise do they sell? I would love to purchase Narnia merchandise. Already got some but just missing Susan’s Horn. I really wish this was coming to the UK also it would be great seeing some of the real props.

  16. a mi siempre me a encantado el tema de narnia y que haya un museo dedicado a ello es fantastico
    🙂
    soy la fan # 1 de NARNIA
