The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition, based on the blockbuster film series and C.S. Lewis' books, opened Friday at The Franklin in Philadelphia.

Presented by Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media, the exhibition is to run through April 19.

This exhibition is a truly captivating and entertaining experience for all ages, Eddie Newquist, president of creative studios for show producers Exhibitgroup/Giltspur, said in a statement. From the scene displays and props seen in the 'Narnia' films, to the scientific and educational aspects of the exhibition that stimulate the senses and the mind, guests will be transported into another world to experience 'Narnia' like never before.

Philadelphia marks the second stop after Phoenix on the exhibition's multi-city tour, which will include eight additional domestic and international cities during the next five years.

We are pleased to welcome 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition' to Philadelphia, added Dennis M. Wint, president and chief executive officer of The Franklin. As a museum that prides itself on creating opportunities for expanding knowledge, we look forward to guests experiencing the exhibition as it showcases a unique collaboration of educational and entertaining elements.
