I saw this exhibit at the Morgan Library & Museum several years ago. It was a great experience, not just see the art but explore how deep Tolkien went into building the world of Middle Earth. Truly amazing when someone devotes that much time and effort into their craft.

I’m very jealous, I showed up there a day after the exhibition closed.

I walked by the Morgan Library on my way to work for years, and never knew they had these cool exhibits until I heard about the Hemingway one right after it closed. Talk about wasted potential...

Leaf by Niggle is one of my favorite Tolkien short stories. It is a short 30 minute read about an artist's dedication to his craft.

Yeah... and amazing as they are, the art and maps are just a fraction of the ~staggeringly~ historically singular overall world-building Tolkien achieved. I mean, two complete languages? I can't even.
