AUSTIN, Texas — Winter is coming back on April 6 when the fourth season of HBO's hit series Game of Thrones begins, returning the show's nerdy legions of fans to the tumultuous fantasy realm of Westoros.

HBO gave SXSW attendees a look at the past, present and future of the show via "Game of Thrones: The Exhibition." From Jaime Lannister's severed hand to an Occulus Rift trip to the top of the infamous Wall, the exhibit was full of props, storyboards and other fascinating details
