Exhibition ui-highlights
Wallace & Gromit from the drawing board will be a major draw for the 2014 school summer holidays appealing to local residents, family audiences and visitors to the city. The exhibition builds on the massive success of Gromit Unleashed, a public art trail held in Bristol last summer.
Visitors of all ages will have the opportunity to see the famous duo up-close and view ‘story boards’ used to create some of the familiar and amusing film scenes. Exhibition ui-highlights will include; production artefacts such as notebooks from the creators, film archive, models, animation sets and clips. Some of the drawings and objects have never been on display before.
An exhibition for all ages
We are thrilled to be working with Aardman Animations once again. The exhibition will open the world of Wallace and Gromit to visitors and give them a behind-the-scenes look at the animation process. We are confident Wallace & Gromit from the drawing board will appeal to all visitors of all ages and spark their own creativity. I believe the undoubted charm of this internationally-recognised brand will attract many tourists to M Shed and to the city of Bristol
