‘Game of Thrones’ Exhibit Coming to Sydney for Free
“Game of Thrones” is coming to Sydney. Aussies will get a chance to see original artefacts from the show as HBO presents a free admission exhibit in Sydney in July.
The dates and venue of the “Game of Thrones: The Exhibition” will be announced at a later date.
“HBO today announced that Game of Thrones: The Exhibition will be coming to Sydney, Australia in early July 2014. The immersive exhibition, specifically created to bring the enchanted world of Game of Thrones and its characters directly to fans, will be presented by Google Play. The event will be free to the public. Full dates and details will be announced shortly,” the announcement reads.
“The exhibit will offer fresh perspective on the show, focusing on key places, characters and relationships from the series. Open to the public free of charge, the not-to-be-missed 2014 exhibition will feature new installations and a collection of nearly 100 original artefacts from the show including select pieces from the fourth and latest season.”
The exhibition is expected to be flocked by its legions of fans in the area.
In April, it was revealed that Aussies were the number one “pirates” of “Game of Thrones,” which is the most pirated TV show for the second year in a row.
In the data gathered by Torrent Freak, the season four premiere of the show has set a new piracy record. Over 300,000 BitTorrent users downloaded the episode, with 11.6 per cent coming from Down Under.
The U.S. and the UK came in at second at third respectively, while Canada and The Netherlands round up the top five pirates list.
For the cities, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth all took in a spot at the top ten.
The data was collected using the IP-address of the downloaders, though it could have been compromised by those who use VPNs.
