* From August to October 2004, the Museum was host to the U. S. premiere of The Lord of the Rings the Motion Picture Trilogy the Exhibition, developed by the Te Papa museum in New Zealand, and containing many of the costumes and props from the films.

The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy: The Exhibition is a traveling exhibit, created by the Te Papa Tongarewa museum of New Zealand, featuring actual props and costumes used in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings movies, as well as special effects demonstrations and " making of " documentary videos.

The elements of this image are, presumably, copyrighted by Christopher Tolkien, by Te Papa, and by the creators of the Lord of the Rings motion picture trilogy.

The Upper Waiau River that flows between Lakes Manapouri and Te Anau doubled as the fictional River Anduin at the end of the first film of the The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, for the scenes where the Uruk-hai chase the Fellowship along the river banks.
