A NEW exhibition will explore the world of Aardman at the Young V&A - from Wallace & Gromit to Morph, Chicken Run and Shaun The Sheep.

With more than 150 objects on display - including never-before-seen models, sets and storyboards from Aardman’s archives - it will open in February to coincide with the studio's 50th anniversary year.

Inside Aardman: Wallace & Gromit and Friends will be the third exhibition to be shown at the Young V&A, in Bethnal Green, east London, since it opened in 2023 after formerly being known as the V&A Museum of Childhood. It will go behind the scenes of stop-motion animation to explore how Aardman’s characters are brought to life and will feature interactive activities for children including designing characters and creating their own live action videos.
