In case you didn’t know, some of Game of Thrones’ most memorable moments have happened in the forests, cliffs and hills of Northern Ireland. And season seven having already started, and with spoilers and fan theories all over the internet, marketing events are also not lacking.

Needless to say, the “Game of Thrones Embroidered Cloth” is inspired by the famous 11th century Bayeux Tapestry, but it is seven meters longer. Also handwoven, the “Game of Thrones Tapestry” is currently being exhibited at the Ulster Museum of Belfast.
