The Indiana State Museum will be the last stop for The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy - The Exhibition (Oct. 6, 2005 - Jan. 3, 2006).
This will be fans' last chance to see the costumes and props, special effects and models that made these magical movies come to life.
View hundreds of items from the movies, including Gandalf's sword Glamdring, Theoden's battle armor, numerous prosthetics and a large-scale cave troll model. Then, stand before the One Ring itself.
