Looking at the notes in the back of the full catalogue, it looks to me that more than 50% (but less than 60%) of the original exhibition will be shown at those two locations.<br /><br />MattMatt Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613295692997491442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239062544101975016.post-39036423012944484632018-09-29T11:14:20.017-07:002018-09-29T11:14:20.017-07:00Thanks!

They also have a smaller, simpler version called TOLKIEN TREASURES, with a different cover (Smaug on his hoard), mostly devoted to images rather than explanatory text.<br /><br />I think the full catalogue is so good that it shd be a contender for best-of-the-year awards.<br /><br />--John R.<br /><br />John D.

It'll be followed up by one<br />in Paris, about which I know even less. It's my understanding that both of the follow-up exhibitions will be somewhat smaller than the original Bodleian staging, but I cd be wrong about that. They'll definitely be worth seeing in any case, and I hope those lucky enough to see either (or both) post their reactions thereto.<br /><br />--John R.John D.
