The rabbit hole is coming to South Kensington, on the 27th of June 2020 to be precise! Tickets for the highly anticipated \u2018Alice: Curiouser and Curiouser\u2019 exhibition at the V&A are now on sale. Led by award-winning designer Tom Piper, who was the creative mastermind behind the Tower of London poppies installation, ‘Alice: Curiouser and Curiouser’ is the most ambitious exhibition on the beloved children\u2019s classic to date.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time in the UK, rare art from Walt Disney\u2019s 1951 Alice in Wonderland film, plus sketches and costumes from Tim Burton\u2019s live-action remake will go on show for the general public. Exploring one of the most told fairy tales of all times, the exhibition will showcase the artwork that reinvented Alice for a new generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creatures of Wonderland are already up to no good, spreading nonsense around the museum! The V&A needs your help to find them and restore logic before it’s too late. The Curious Trail will make up part of the V&A’s exciting family programme launching alongside the exhibitions opening on the 27th June 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo story in English literature has intrigued me more than Lewis Carroll\u2019s Alice in Wonderland. It fascinated me the first time I read it as a schoolboy, and as soon as I possibly could, after I started making animated cartoons, I acquired the film rights to it.\u201d Walt Disney
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walt Disney purchased the rights to the original illustrations way back in 1931, but it wasn\u2019t until 1951 that his vision for Alice and her extraordinary and enchanting world came to light. The exhibition will display Alice\u2019s transformation across the decades from David Hall\u2019s unique <\/em>concept drawings to the now legendary designs of Mary Blair\u2019s 1951 animated film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
