Model of The Grand Budapest Hotel among items in new Wes Anderson exhibition
International news
A candy-pink model of The Grand Budapest Hotel is among more than 600 objects that will be included in a Wes Anderson exhibition in London.
The Design Museum has collaborated with the US filmmaker for the retrospective, which includes a curated collection of original props, costumes and behind-the-scenes insights, including items from the director’s personal collection.
Anderson, who celebrates his 56th birthday on Thursday, is known for his distinct style and celebrated films including Fantastic Mr Fox, The French Dispatch and 2014’s The Grand Budapest Hotel.
The comedy film, which won Oscars for production and costume design, follows M Gustave, played by Ralph Fiennes, who works at a beautiful mountainside resort in Europe during the 20th century.
The new exhibition will follow a broadly chronological survey of his career, with each section dedicated to one of his films.
