  A museum in Switzerland completely dedicated to J.R.R. Tolkien!

  There have been rumors around for some time about a Museum which is being build in Switzerland that is totally dedicated to Tolkien, or better said to Middle-earth the land Tolkien created. There are talks about a real hobbit hole, hundreds of original pieces of Middle-earth art, etc.
  Well I can tell you, these rumors are true! I was very happy to see an article at The Italian Tolkien Society website about it and I’m so grateful to be able to post an English version of the article here.
  The museum will open in 2013, just to give us time to pack our bags! It will be called “Greisinger Middle-earth Collection” and is located in Jenins, a little village in the Grisons canton with just 847 inhabitants, on the border with Liechtenstein.
  The museum entrance is the Bilbo’s hobbithole, faithfully reconstructed, where a collection of Tolkien’s books will be on display. From there you will have access to a basement of 300 square meters where visitors will be transported to Middle-earth. The exhibition space includes life-size creatures, spectacular scenery, original paintings, collectibles, sculptures and illustrations. Furthermore, there will be an incredible collection of works by Tolkien fans around the world. Inside the museum you can also access a conference room and a private cinema.
