#TimBurtonPrague

Tim Burton – director, producer, writer, poet, artist, illustrator – is returning to the Czech Republic after 10 years to give his admirers another glimpse into the innermost recesses of his mind.

The American film visionary connects the innocent world of childhood with the dark side of human existence, storytelling across genres and styles including a revival of stop-motion animation.

the EXHIBITION

Preparation of Tim Burton’s exhibition in Prague 2024

An exhibition which explores the more than 50-year artistic career of this visual storyteller, who always manages to lighten his darkly tuned stories with his trademark exaggeration and humor. After 10 years the exhibition returns to Prague with new material from recent projects.

Municipal House • Náměstí Republiky 1090/5 • Prague

Open DAILY 10:00 a.m.–7. p.m, including public holidays.

The last visitor will be admitted to the exhibtion at 6 p.m.

The return to Prague follows a world tour which has delighted visitors of the world’s top museums and galleries including the Max Ernst Museum in Bruhl, the Mori Arts Gallery in Tokyo, the Museo Franz Mayer in Mexico, and the Design Museum in Seoul, plus many more.

The exhibition features 600 works, including storyboards, sketches, scene designs, puppets, photographs, and more. The imagery featured hails from timeless film classics such as Beetlejuice, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas through contemporary films like Dumbo and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.

The exhibition is organized by independent curator Jenny He in collaboration with Tim Burton Productions and Art Movement.
