The World of Tim Burton British Sign Language Tour
Join guide Edward Richards for a tour of the highlights of The World of Tim Burton exhibition delivered in British Sign Language for d/Deaf visitors and their companions using BSL.
What to expect
This major exhibition invites visitors to explore Tim Burton’s remarkable creations and key collaborations with designers and makers. While most well-known for his cinematic work, the exhibition celebrates the full extent of Burton’s creative talents as an illustrator, painter, photographer and author.
Drawn from Burton’s personal archive from childhood to the present day, this collection of drawings, paintings, photographs, sketchbooks, moving-image works, sculptural installations, models, set and costume designs manifest recurrent preoccupations, motifs and magic.
This group tour will explore exhibition highlights to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of Burton’s influences, practice and impact.
