Lord of the Rings Exhibition Teachers' Guide

This teachers’ guide was designed by Te Papa Tongarewa to complement your class visit to The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy – The Exhibition. All references to the exhibit map and zones refer to the exhibition’s showing at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. While all of the same items will be available at the Indiana State Museum (ISM), the layout of the exhibit will be different.

The activities in this guide put your students in the director’s chair. They encourage the same sort of creativity and ingenuity that Peter Jackson and his team used in making The Lord of the Rings.
