    Texas museum to debut epic exhibition of Game of Thrones costumes

    Daenerys Targaryen Game of Thrones

    Games of Thrones costumes and props are going on display only in Arlington.

    thelastcover.net

    Winter is coming to Texas in October: "Game of Thrones: The Exhibition," an all-new display of original costumes, props, and a behind-the-scenes peek at the groundbreaking HBO series, will debut at the Arlington Museum of Art on October 4.

    Curated specially for the North Texas museum in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences (WBDGE) and the Game of Thrones production archives team, the exhibition will showcase more than 60 costumes from all eight seasons of the show, including Daenerys Targaryen’s regal dragon-scale gowns and Jon Snow’s battle-worn Night’s Watch gear.

    They'll be accompanied by behind-the-scenes insights, images, and design sketches that show the craftsmanship and historical influences behind the looks.

    "The collection highlights the vision and detail of the show’s award-winning costume designer and the hundreds of talented production designers, set builders, and other specialty artisans," says a release. "'Game of Thrones: The Exhibition' transports visitors into the heart of the realm, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at the artistry, craftsmanship, and storytelling that brought the epic series to life."

    Game of Thrones Game of Thrones ended in 2019. HBO

    The costumes and props offer an opportunity for rabid GOT fans who've been missing the series since it ended in 2019 to relive the adventure of Westeros. The Arlington Museum of Art, located near AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field between Dallas and Fort Worth, will be the only venue for the exhibition.

    Game of Thrones was a fantasy drama series that followed a war of succession among competing noble families for control of the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms and other threats to their kingdoms (to put it simply). It aired on HBO for eight seasons, from April 2011 to May 2019, earning critical acclaim and worldwide fandom. The series is now available to stream on HBO Max.

    “This exhibition is more than a tribute to the world of Game of Thrones, it’s a celebration of the fandom that kept the story alive,” says AMA director of exhibitions Kendall Quirk in the release. “There are so many talented artists who brought the series to life through sets, graphic design, and costumes and we’re so thrilled to celebrate their work.”

    While the show itself was for mature audiences, the exhibit will be suitable for all ages, and content will appeal to both devoted fans and newcomers to the series, she adds.

    "Game of Thrones: The Exhibition" will run October 4, 2025, to April 5, 2026. Tickets ($25) will go on sale August 1 on the Arlington Museum of Art website. Advance reservations are recommended.

    The Arlington Museum of Art is on a roll with exhibitions that tap into recent pop culture zeitgeist. The museum just completed a display of costumes and jewels from Disney films, as well as costumes from the 2024 blockbuster movie Wicked, and never-before-seen photos of Britain's late Princess Diana.

    2 luxe Houston hotels make Travel + Leisure's 500 best list for 2026

    Two of Houston's most luxurious hotels — The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa and The Post Oak Hotel — have earned prestigious acclaim in Travel + Leisure's annual report of the 500 best hotels in the world for 2026.

    The T+L 500 List rounds up the highest ranked properties from the magazine's annual World’s Best Survey. Results are grouped geographically across eight global regions: the U.S.; Canada; the Bahamas, Bermuda and the Caribbean; Mexico, Central America, and South America; Europe; Africa and the Middle East; Asia; and Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific.

    The T+L 500 List is a separate publication from the World's Best Awards, which is the in-depth breakdown of the world's top hotels, resorts, travel destinations, and more. Both Houston hotels have made consistent appearances in that yearly report, too.

    There were nearly 190 U.S. hotels that made the list this year, and only 10 hail from Texas.

    Founded in 1980, The Houstonian is highly regarded as one of the city's most most popular hospitality properties, and not just for its elegant guest rooms. The property encompasses a sprawling 27 acres for the hotel, a fitness club, multiple on-site restaurants, and more. The Trellis Spa is renowned for its indulgent experiences and treatments, and the reimagined conference center and Grande Ballroomon have recently reopened for event hosting. Even more elevated upgrades are expected in the fall.

    Owned by Houston billionaire Tilman Fertitta, The Post Oak Hotel can rest on its laurels as one of only two five-diamond properties in Texas, and it has held onto its coveted One Key rating from the Michelin Guide since 2024. This posh hotel has crafted a reputation for luxury while also showcasing Houston's status as a top foodie city, whether by hosting cocktail bar pop-ups or James Beard Foundation events.

    Both hotels have also snapped up other awards from national publications like U.S. News and World Report and Forbes.

    Other Texas properties that made the T+L 500 List are:

    • Austin Proper Hotel
    • Bowie House, Fort Worth
    • Commodore Perry Estate, Austin
    • Hotel Drover, Fort Worth
    • Hotel Emma, San Antonio
    • Hotel Vin, Grapevine
    • Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa
    • Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek, Dallas
