Anderson was pulling together items from his movie career for an exhibition at The Design Museum in London.
Wes Anderson: The Archives launched on November 21 and runs until July, featuring more than 700 objects charting the director’s career in the film industry.
A message posted on the museum’s website explained: “The Design Museum has been granted unprecedented access to Wes Anderson’s personal archives, which the film-maker has built up over three decades. This is the first time most of these objects will be displayed in Britain ...
“Over 700 objects will bring together the director’s meticulous craft of film-making through original storyboards, Polaroids, sketches, paintings, handwritten notebooks, puppets, miniature models, dozens of costumes worn by much-loved characters, and more ...
“As well as finished props and sets, the exhibition will feature work-in-progress material and maquettes, and it will look at the variety of traditional and handmade film-making techniques that the director continues to celebrate through his work, especially connected to puppets and stop-motion animation.”
Highlights of the exhibition include a model of the Grand Budapest Hotel, vending machines featured in Asteroid City and a fur coat worn by Gwyneth Paltrow in The Royal Tenenbaums.
The show also puts on display the sea creature puppets used in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and Mr Fox from Fantastic Mr. Fox.
