    Dallas-Fort Worth museum suits up for fierce 'Knights Tale' armory exhibition from Italy

    It'll be out with the cute princesses and in with the fierce knights when the Arlington Museum of Art opens its next exhibition, "A Knight's Tale," this fall.

     

    The fall-winter exhibition will run October 22, 2022-February 12, 2023 and promises to be "a stunning homage to the world of the Medieval and Renaissance knight," a release says.

     

    The exhibit will include 130 rare objects — including full suits of armor, mounted equestrian figures, helmets, swords, shields, and other weaponry — coming to North Texas from the acclaimed collection of the Museo Stibbert (Stibbert Museum) in Florence, Italy.

     

    “'A Knight’s Tale' brings to life the art and customs of tournaments and jousting, the codes of chivalry, and the knight’s iconic sword and armor,” says Chris Hightower, president and CEO of the Arlington Museum of Art, in the release. “The Arlington Museum of Art is thrilled to partner with the Stibbert Museum and Contemporanea Progetti to bring this unique exhibition to North Texas.”

     

    Armaments on display span the Middle Ages and Renaissance through the Medieval Revival of the 19th century. They belonged to Frederick Stibbert (1838-1906), "an astute and sophisticated financier who dedicated his life to collecting works of art, particularly European armor and weaponry," organizers say. The Stibbert Museum is believed to house the best private collection of armory in Europe.

     

    “When something is iconic — like the persona of a medieval knight — you can almost always trace the origin story back to an artist,” Hightower says. “The craftsmanship in 'A Knight’s Tale' showcases the skills of the great metalsmiths of the Middle Ages who brought functionality and beauty to their craft. Knights as icons have stood the test of time because great art stands the test of time.”

     

    "A Knight's Tale" will debut after the conclusion of the museum’s current exhibition, "Disney Art from Private Collections," which runs until September 4.

     

    The general public will be able to purchase tickets ($5-$20) in early September through the museum’s website. It will be free for museum members.

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

    Curated for the Arlington 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."

     Daenerys Targaryen Game of Thrones Game of Thrones ran on HBO from 2011 to 2019.  thelastcover.net  

    The costumes and props offer an opportunity for GOT fans who've been missing the series since it ended in 2019 to relive the adventure of the Westeros.

    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. 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.”

    The exhibit is 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-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.
