ACMI's Wonderland opens in Singapore on the 13th!

Wondreland

ACMI's massive Alice retrospective Wonderland opens in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore on the 13th!

Fall down the rabbit hole into Wonderland, an immersive, playful and interactive exhibition for all ages, celebrating Lewis Carroll's timeless tales of Alice's adventures.
This one-of-a-kind exhibition follows Alice's journey through popular culture and invites you to take a trip through the looking glass into an enchanted world where expectations are upended and curiosity is rewarded. Using theatrical sets, bold, interactive environments, eye-catching props and amazing audiovisual artworks, Wonderland spectacularly conjures up the surprising and magical world of Alice and her adventures! 

Discover how artists and filmmakers have portrayed Alice and her story for over a century. Since her first appearance on the page in 1865, Alice has delighted audiences in more than 40 films and over 30 television programmes, and has become a subcultural icon through her presence in music videos, video games, high fashion, advertising and more. Drawing together a remarkable selection of original behind-the-scenes material, Wonderland includes over 300 artefacts and objects including first edition books, drawings, original costumes, films, magic lantern projectors, animation and puppetry.


No news yet on if the film festival Alice is Everywhere will be part of this tour or if there are any extra features, but as ever I will keep you posted. 

Intriguingly this is described as "the first stop" on a "global tour"

Hmmm...
