THE WORLD OF TIM BURTON COMES TO LONDON

UK Premiere of Whimsically Grotesque Master's World Heads to Design Museum
The World of Tim Burton

We whispered Beetlejuice three times, and the UK premiere of The World of Tim Burton has been announced at London's Design Museum.


Fittingly, the alchemist of whimsical goth horror’s exhibition launches just before Halloween, on 25 October, riding the crest of the hype-tsunami around the freshly released Beetlejuice 2 movie.

Tim Burton Design Museum

Visitors will be invited into his world, to explore the darkly unique aesthetic behind some of the most celebrated films of the last four decades, mastering the comically grotesque and the endearingly misfit.


The show will showcase his work beyond the silver-screen, as an illustrator, painter, photographer and author, as well as key collaborations with designers.

Tim Burton Design Museum

Drawing from Burton’s personal archive and representing his creative output from childhood to the present day, this collection of drawings, paintings, photographs, sketchbooks, moving-image works, sculptural installations, set and costume design focuses on the recurrent visual themes and motifs found in Burton’s art and film worlds.


This will be the final stop in a decade-long world tour for this exhibition and will be its only ever showing in the UK.


The World of Tim Burton, Design Museum, 224-238 Kensington High St, W8 6AG. 25 October 25 2024 - 21 April 2025. Tickets from £19.69 pp, Kid’s £9.85
