This week V and A museum in London unveiled the first batch of confirmed exhibits which will be part of their massive Alice retrospective exhibition in June 2020.
Here's a list of everything we know so far.
Of course I must add as a disclaimer that all this is subject to change.
NOTES:
The name of the exhibition has now changed twice. It is now called "Alice: curiouser and curiouser". It is still not known if this is the final name for the exhibition.
As far as I know this is still ACMI's Wonderland but with LOTS of added things for London.
With that out of the way...
CONFIRMED
- Charles Dodgson's manuscripts (Probably AAUG, possibly letters as well)
- National Art Gallery prints of John Tenniel's Alice (only AAIW confirmed at moment, probably will feature TTLG too)
