Tapestry Based on the "Game of Thrones" Began to Embroider in Belfast
OREANDA-NEWS A team of volunteers from the Ulster Museum in Belfast (the capital of Northern Ireland) is completing work on a tapestry based on the series "Game of Thrones," The Guardian reports about it.
A canvas 90 meters long with illustrations for all eight seasons is almost ready.
The famous TV series was filmed mainly in Belfast and in the province of Northern Ireland.
According to Valerie Wilson, curator of the museum on costumes and textiles, "the length of the tapestry gives history the opportunity to unfold." Individual elements of the canvas were embroidered on a typewriter, but the final touches are applied manually. Stylistically, the work recalls the tapestry from Bayeux created at the end of the XI century, which depicts scenes of the preparation of the Norman conquest of England and the Battle of Hastings.
In September, the tapestry will go to the exhibition in France.
