From 10 December 2026 to 5 September 2027, Forum Groningen presents a major exhibition dedicated to the cinematic world of Wes Anderson. Developed in close collaboration with the Design Museum, la Cinémathèque française, and Anderson himself, the exhibition offers a unique look behind the scenes of his iconic films.

Featuring more than 700 objects from Anderson’s personal archive, visitors can explore original costumes, storyboards, miniature models, props, stop-motion puppets, notebooks, and polaroids from films including The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Asteroid City.

At Forum Groningen, the exhibition will be expanded to include a larger section on The Phoenician Scheme including objects shown publicly for the first time. Anderson’s personal notebooks offer a rare insight into his creative process, while sketches, maquettes, storyboards, and other working materials shed light on his close collaborations and filmmaking techniques. 

Short films, including Bottle Rocket, Hotel Chevalier, and The Swan from Anderson’s Roald Dahl series will be screened in a purpose-built cinema room within the exhibition space, offering visitors a rare and immersive opportunity to experience Anderson’s films as an integral part of the exhibition itself.
