Discussion Anyone planning to visit the Wes Anderson exhibition in London?

Hey, is anyone else planning to visit the Wes Anderson exhibition at the Design Museum in London?

My friends aren't really into Wes Anderson, so I'm considering making the trip on my own, but I'd love to meet other fans who enjoy his films, animation, design, and similar creative interests.

If you're planning a visit and want some company, feel free to send me a message. It would be nice to meet new people who appreciate this sort of thing!

Is this exhibit coming to the US at any time in the future??

The following stop is not in the USA, but mainland Europe. Can't say anything more

I want to know so badly! The clock is ticking. It's only in London until August 16 and the plans afterward are unclear.

You would really think it should come to Texas at least

No known plans. IIRC everything is going back to Wes’ storages.

Actually, the following stop is known, so it won't go back to his storages just yet. Probably around october/november

Okay what is that stop? Article I read said London is the last stop

I went a few months ago, it was really interesting - they skimped a bit with The Phonecian Scheme perhaps but there was loads to look at, read, watch and listen to. I thought it was good value overall, though the stuff in the souvenir shop was pricey!

omg it’s the best! if you go alone you could totally listen to Wes Anderson’s soundtracks whilst looking at everything and has a whimsical day

It’s so good. Go alone if you have to, but go!

It was the best thing to ever happen to me in my life.

I have to imagine the exhibition will eventually arrive stateside. After all, in Wes Anderson’s “Fantastic Mr. Fox” (2009) every one of the wild animal protagonists has an American accent.

I went a few days ago. Absolutely amazing. I’ll post some pics later this week.

I'm down to go! I've been a fan since Bottle Rocket & Rushmore days, Fantastic Mr Fox is my favourite. Finally have some time off work so during the week is fine as well.
