Parageographic museum exhibits?
I found these articles re: a museum exhibit with "artefacts" from THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS:

I think this is a fascinating concept, providing exhibits of created worlds! Has anyone ever heard of similar exhibits? What other created worlds would you like to see exhibits of?

Re: Parageographic museum exhibits?
You know, it's funny because when I was taking ParaGeography at U.T., Dr. Parker gave us these, I don't know, sketches or photocopies of real things but out of context so we weren't entirely sure what they really were. Anyway, our job was to write up a description of what they were and where they were found/how they were used in the worlds we were creating--we had some very interesting ideas come out of the exercise!
I guess if I had to do such a thing for AElit, I would make a "catalogue" of items with captions that described just that: where the artifacts were found, what they were likely used for, etc. It's a fun way to get creative juices flowing because it requires one to think about even the minute aspects of the world they are creating.

Re: Parageographic museum exhibits?
That looks like a really nice exhibit. Lord of the Rings was such a beautifully crafted film. My husband and I rented the DVD this weekend. I was really fascinated with the extras where they talked about the making of the film. They hired weapons experts to hand-craft all the weapons and armour. The city of Rivendale (that's what its call right?) was based on ancient Celtic and Art Nuveau designs.
I really like the idea of "creating" ancient artifacts and have used that in my art. I actually considered studying archeology in college so a exhibit of fake artifacts would be right down my alley. As to what world I'd like to see represented, I don't know where to start. My instinct would be to pick one of my favorites from my childhood "Alice in Wonderland".
By the way Kerrie, have you ever seen the book "The Museum at Purgatory" by Nick Bantock? It is about an imaginary musum in purgatory with photographs of all the "actual" objects. You can find it in the art section at most bookstores. I think you'd really like it.
