Tourism Ireland has released another time-lapse video of the weaving of the latest section of its Game of Thrones tapestry – part of its 2017 campaign to showcase Northern Ireland as Game of ThronesTerritory to millions of fans worldwide. The centrepiece of the 2017 campaign, created in partnership with HBO, is a Bayeux-style tapestry, hanging in the Ulster Museum – which brings to life the trials and tribulations of the show’s characters in its most epic and famous scenes.
The new section of the tapestry features several scenes from “Stormborn,” episode 2 of season 7 of Game of Thrones – including Nymeria looking particularly fearsome and the dramatic sea battle from the end of the episode! The new section of the tapestry will be on display in the Ulster Museum from tomorrow (Tuesday, 25 July).
As season 7 unfolds, new sections of the tapestry are being revealed each week, in the build-up to the next episode, capturing key events from the previous week. Tourism Ireland is sharing these new sections via social media – using a mix of cinemagraphs (“living” photographs), time-lapse videos of the weaving process, carousels and Instagram Stories – to bring the creation of the tapestry to life.
