Game Of Thrones Tapestry

      So at the beginning of May I booked a last minute trip to Belfast with my boyfriend. We spent our first day there wandering around near Queen's University where there is a wonderful Botanical garden and the Ulster Museum, both free to enter. Games of Thrones has brought a huge boost to Northern Ireland's tourism, there are many different locations you can visit that were used for filming. We did our own little road trip to a few of these amazing places along the coast and it was pretty amazing. 

      Tourism Ireland has created a Tapestry which is currently on show at The Ulster Museum, it is 77m long and still growing, with new sections being added as the new season is shown! I couldn't believe the sheer scale of the tapestry, it shows the storyline as it develops (so there may be some spoilers if you read too much into the images below). 

      The sheer details of all the embroidery is really beautiful. Some of it is pretty grim, I have only watched a few episodes of Game of Thrones (don't judge me!) but I remember some of the deaths being pretty graphic and gruesome. 

      I would highly recommend a visit if you happen to be in the area, the rest of the museum has a lot to see too! Let me know what you think.
