Enjoy Aardman's strange world ! 2026 is Aardman’s 50th anniversary year. The Young V & A is holding a special exhibition to celebrate their iconic characters and worlds, as well as their craft and storytelling. The exhibition will take you behind the scenes of stop-motion animation and show you how Aardman brings clay to life. There are more than 150 items on display, including sets, and storyboards from Aardman’s archives. There are also early sketches for well-loved characters like Morph and Gromit and the storyboard for the iconic train chase in “The Wrong Trousers.” In the exhibition you will also find out how storytellers and sketch artists draw out their ideas, how the modelmakers build sets and puppets and how the directors, animators and film crew work together to make these small worlds feel so large.
