"Over this three-decade career, the filmmaker has carved out a popular niche in stylistically rich movies that have adoring fans swooning over the appearance as much as they do the plotlines. Now, from Anderson's own archive, his uniquely quaint world has come to London. As an exhibition, it's going to appeal to the fans, and like all person themed exhibitions, if you're not a fan it might be a tad hard to know what you're looking at."
"A major highlight is the monumental 3-metre-wide candy-pink model of the Grand Budapest Hotel, which is one of the largest and most recognisable items in the exhibition. Other highlights include the vending machines from Asteroid City, the fur coat, behind a protective glass case, worn by Gwyneth Paltrow in The Royal Tenenbaums, and the original stop-motion puppets from the Fantastic Mr Fox and Isle of Dogs."
The Design Museum is hosting Wes Anderson: The Archives, a chronological presentation of the filmmaker's design work from early experiments and teenage silent films through Hollywood features and animation. The display draws from Anderson's own archive and pairs film artifacts with design-process materials such as sketches, scale models, claymation characters and original stop-motion puppets. Standout objects include a candy-pink 3-metre Grand Budapest Hotel model, vending machines from Asteroid City, Gwyneth Paltrow's fur coat from The Royal Tenenbaums, and props from Fantastic Mr Fox and Isle of Dogs. The exhibition runs in London until the end of July 2026; standard ticket £24.
