Dive into the fantastical world of a distinctive director.
Tim Burton is the creative force behind some of the most celebrated films of the last four decades, internationally recognised as a master of the comically grotesque and the endearingly misfit.
Drawn from Tim Burton’s personal archive and representing his creative output from childhood to the present day, this major exhibition will provide visitors with a comprehensive look at his world. While most well-known for his cinematic work, this show will display the full extent of his production as an illustrator, painter, photographer and author, as well as exploring key collaborations with designers.
