“Tim Burton’s Labyrinth” is the immersive exhibition dedicated to one of cinema’s most beloved modern directors, known for his dark, imaginative style and a sensibility that can touch the hearts of young and old alike.
The exhibition landed in Milan on Dec. 13, 2024 and will continue until March 9, 2025.
Hosted in the Fabbrica del Vapore’s Cathedral Space, it promises to be a unique experience that promises to be a must-see event for fans of cinema and art, transporting visitors on a surreal journey through the iconic worlds created by Burton in his most famous films.
A thrilling journey into the mind of Tim Burton
From the gothic atmospheres of “Edward Scissorhands” to the whimsical wonders of “Alice in Wonderland,” via the eerie charm of “The Corpse Bride” and the eccentricity of “The Chocolate Factory,” each room of the exhibition is a portal to a fantastical dimension.
The layout, conceived as a labyrinth, allows visitors to freely explore the exhibition space, choosing their own path among the different “doors” that open onto the various Burtonian universes.
This nonlinear structure perfectly reflects the eclectic and unpredictable spirit of the director, offering a personalized experience to each visitor.
What to expect.
Among the highlights of the exhibition:
- A section dedicated to “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” with sets and characters brought to life through immersive projections.
- An interactive area inspired by “Beetlejuice,” where visitors can experience the film’s signature special effects.
- A gallery of original sketches and storyboards revealing the creative process behind Burton’s masterpieces.
- Sound installations that recreate the films’ iconic soundtracks, composed by faithful collaborator Danny Elfman.
The exhibition not only celebrates Tim Burton’s films, but offers an in-depth look at his artistic vision and creative process.
Through the display of hundreds of works, including sketches, paintings, and sculptures, visitors can appreciate the evolution of Burton’s style and the influences that shaped his unique imagery.
“Tim Burton’s Labyrinth” is a multi-sensory experience that goes beyond the traditional museum exhibit.
This is not just an exhibition, but a true experiential journey that promises to enchant visitors of all ages.
The innovative use of audiovisual technologies, mapping projections, and interactive installations creates an immersive environment that blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy, allowing visitors to feel a part of the worlds created by Burton.
