I know that I’ve mentioned The Narnia Exhibition before, and quite a bit in the last year, but there’s always someone that hasn’t heard of it.  I received an email the other day from someone that has visited it at Kansas City’s Union Station, and written a review of the exhibit.  It’s a great exhibit, and this fan told me that she wanted to spend hours looking at the stuff that is there, especially the room with C.S. Lewis artifacts.  Having seen the exhibition myself, I must concur.  I really wanted to spend more time with the C.S. Lewis stuff, but knew that I had to move on.

The Exhibition was created by the Becker Group in association with Walden Media and Walt Disney Pictures.  Union Station is attempting to put a greater emphasis on mixing theatricality with education, and this exhibit is a big piece of that with it’s emphasis on the science behind Narnia.  Officials at Union Station, including CEO George Guastello, want to put more emphasis on families and education.  They hope for 70-80,000 visitors to the attraction, which runs from May 22 – August 23.
