“A dream that comes true”

“For over 30 years he has won us over with his stories”
Even the president of the National Cinema Museum, Enzo Ghigo, expresses himself in enthusiastic tones. “Once again the National Cinema Museum pays homage to a great artist of international fame. With his great creativity and mastery he gave life to universal films, appreciated by all.

An immersive exhibition that offers itself as an exclusive journey into the mind of a genius
“The World of Tim Burton” will be an immersive exhibition that offers itself as a one-way ticket for an exclusive journey into the mind of a genius. To quote the remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the 2015 film (directed by Tim Burton) entitled The Chocolate Factorythe ticket for this exhibition coincides with the legendary Golden Ticket, the golden ticket in Willy Wonka’s chocolate bars to enter his legendary factory.
In this case, Willy Wonka will be Burton himself, whose artistic production will be explored in the round and across the board. We will enter his world, his brilliant mind, the incredible imagination that he created in three decades.
Over 500 works will be part of the exhibition
The exhibition which will arrive in Turin in October will be divided into ten thematic sections and will present over 500 examples of original works of art. These are works that have never been seen before, or have been exhibited very rarely.
The corpus of the exhibition will cover Tim Burton’s entire career, from his beginnings to his most recent projects.
We will move from sketches to paintings, from drawings to photographs, up to examples of concept art, to storyboards, costumes, moving works, maquettes (sketches of advertisements), puppets and life-size sculptural installations.
