Bristol Favourites Aardman Characters on Display in London
The Young V&A exhibition features over 150 items from Aardman’s archives and offers interactive animation activities to inspire future creators, curator Alex Newson said.
- Opening Thursday at the Young V&A museum in Bethnal Green, Inside Aardman: Wallace & Gromit and Friends uses interactive, colourful displays to show stop-motion craft and inspire children.
- To mark five decades of the studio, Alex Newson, chief curator, said the exhibition drew on the studio's archive after nearly two years of preparation.
- Schoolchildren previewed interactive stations such as a praxinoscope and character-design stations that let visitors try stop-motion, while the sidecar from Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl appears publicly for the first time.
- Tickets are on sale now and permit repeat visits between this month and November; admission costs �12.50, and the exhibition runs until November 15.
- Aardman highlights its 'thumbiness' and was formed in 1976 by Peter Lord and David Sproxton, not Nick Park, as many believe, said Newson.
