Developed in partnership with Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products and James Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment, AVATAR: The Exhibition features authentic props and costumes, interactive displays, concept models and sketches from the blockbuster film.
AVATAR: The Exhibition will include elaborate displays of artifacts and props such as the actual AMP (Armored Mobility Platform) suit used in the combat scenes and the original, hand-crafted models of the Na’vi characters and their wardrobes. Visitors will get to step into Cameron’s role as director and experience the process of creating a film like AVATAR through a series of interactive installations that demonstrate the groundbreaking usage of performance capture, virtual and 3-D technologies in film. The creation of Pandora will also be explored, revealing the origins of the Na’vi culture and the science behind the universe, the creatures and the plants.
“AVATAR took movie-making to a new level and a new frontier – now our visitors can experience the art and the science behind this incredible movie through this one-of-a-kind exhibit,” said Dr. Jeffrey H. Patchen, President and CEO, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.
“The exhibition will be a unique opportunity for people to learn more, not only about how the film was made, but also experience Pandora in a much deeper way. Fans will be able to see in-person the workmanship behind the film, whether it’s how scenes are captured, or how a Na’vi costume was built first as a real world garment then produced digitally,” said Director James Cameron.
With the local support of presenting sponsor The Central Indiana Honda Dealers, and supporting sponsor AAA Insurance, AVATAR: The Exhibition will be open to the public from June 22 - September 22, 2013 at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.
