hen you think about pertinent exhibitions for a history museum, one based on “The Hunger Games” movie franchise may not immediately jump to mind. But for Kentucky, part of the 13-state-spanning Appalachian region, the themes in Suzanne Collins’ book series are as relevant as ever. Running from April 1st to September 10th at The Frazier History Museum, “The Hunger Games The Exhibition” will offer visitors the unique opportunity
to explore the world of Panem and its 13 Districts in a way they never have before. The sizable exhibition will showcase over 1,000 costumes, props, artifacts and high-tech interactive pieces from the movies, including protagonist Katniss Everdeen’s “Girl on Fire” and wedding dresses. The exhibition will also house a hologram experience and environments for visitors to walk through and explore, like the tribute train and the stage set for Katniss Everdeen’s home.
