Inside Aardman: Wallace & Gromit and Friends

After two exhibitions that could loosely fall under the category of ‘world history’ – Japan: Myths to Manga and Making Egypt – the Young V&A’s third temporary exhibition goes for a different tack in offering a celebration of and behind the scenes look at beloved British animation studio Aardman. It’s a journey through Aardman’s numerous iconic characters – from Morph to Shaun the Sheep and of course Wallace and Gromit – with a heavy emphasis on hands on exhibits and learning how the stop motion animation process works: young visitors will even be able to make a little animation of their own. Although all ages are welcome, it’s especially aimed at children aged eight to 14. As ever with Young V&A, paying for admission once allows you to come back any time during the life of the exhibition.
