Drawing from the vast collections at Oxford’s Bodleian Library, Marquette University Libraries, the Morgan Library, and private lenders, the exhibition, titled “Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth” is sure to make fans of Tolkien’s work weak in the knees. It will feature amazing original illustrations of Smaug the dragon and Sauron’s Dark Tower, as well as family photographs and memorabilia.
