Locations and sets in Northern Ireland where filming took place for Game Of Thrones are due to be opened to the public next year.
The epic TV drama about families struggling for supremacy in the fictional world of Westeros recently completed filming its eighth and final season, which is to be released next year.
The HBO show, which starred Aiden Gillen, Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington, was shot in locations and studios across Northern Ireland for nearly 10 years.
The Press Association reports that HBO plans to celebrate the show's legacy by converting several filming locations into tourist attractions. Film sets, displays of costumes, props, weapons, set decorations, art files, models and other production materials are among the planned visitor attractions.
There are also plans open up production archives to share with fans and a formal studio tour of Linen Mill Studios, close to Banbridge, Co Down.
"HBO is thrilled to celebrate the work of the Game Of Thrones creative team and crew by preserving these locations and inviting fans to visit Northern Ireland and explore Westeros in person," said Jeff Peters, vice president of licensing and retail at HBO.
"We look forward to opening the gates and sharing the excitement of stepping inside these amazing sets with Game Of Thrones fans from around the world.
"The opportunity to celebrate Northern Ireland's pivotal role in the life and legacy of the show and share its culture, beauty and warmth is also a huge inspiration behind these legacy projects."
John McGrillen, chief executive of Tourism NI, said, "We couldn't be more excited about the Game Of Thrones legacy project coming to Northern Ireland.
"While fans have seen the stunning landscapes, coastlines and mountains in the series, we are thrilled they will now have the opportunity to fully experience the charm of Northern Ireland and immerse themselves into the world of Westeros.

"The Game Of Thrones legacy project will be a game changer for Northern Ireland on a global tourism level.
"We very much welcome this exciting announcement by HBO and look forward to attracting many more visitors to our beautiful country as a result."
There are already several Game Of Thrones themed bus tours operating in Northern Ireland, along with visitor maps and phone apps.
A tapestry chronicling the story of the epic tale was unveiled at the Ulster Museum in Belfast last year, and a series of decorated doors depicting key scenes from the show were also exhibited at venues across the region.
