    No photos are allowed inside this Aladdin's Cave of movie props.

    You get to hold props from loads of movies and get to learn loads about how they are made and how they are used on set.

    This is the company who did the weapons, clothes, props to Lord of the Rings.

    They have also done props for many other movies as well. Really interesting tour with a lot of information about how to make props and such.
