"enough ingenious contraptions to keep Wallace busy for decades. Designed especially for children and families (and any grown-ups who've ever tried to build a wrong-trousers-style gadget in the shed), the exhibition will take over Young V&A in east London, exploring how Aardman turned early sketches into fully fledged adventures - complete with runaway trains, malfunctioning trousers, stolen gems and unexpected trips to the moon for cheese."
"which, let's be honest, is the sort of painstaking work Gromit might do quietly while Wallace gets distracted by his latest invention. Over 150 items will be on show, including development sketches for Morph, early character ideas for Wallace & Gromit, a hand-drawn storyboard from The Wrong Trousers train chase, as well as never-before-displayed objects such as the duo's motorbike and sidecar from Vengeance Most Fowl and Aardman's final physical scheduling board."
"Aimed at younger visitors, the exhibition also gives budding animators the chance to try their hand at the stop-motion process themselves, learning how to create their own miniature masterpieces at home using everyday materials - no need for a giant porridge cannon or an out-of-control robot dog. The exhibition, Inside Aardman: Wallace & Gromit and Friends, will open on 12th February 2026, coinciding with the studio's 50th anniversary year."
