About Inside Aardman: Wallace & Gromit and Friends

Plasticine has a way of making grown adults grin, and this exhibition leans straight into that. Expect original armatures, sketches and models charting decades of stop-motion craft, with the sort of hands-on displays that suit families and animation obsessives equally well. A Thursday opening means smaller crowds and more room to linger over the fiddly detail that makes claymation work. Bring children, bring nostalgia, or bring both.

Where to stay nearby

Young V&A sits in Bethnal Green, and with over a thousand hotels across London, staying central gives you the most choice for an easy visit. Brentford and Richmond offer a quieter, greener alternative if you'd rather base yourself outside the centre and travel in for the day.

London — about 0 km away

With the widest and closest hotel choice, London puts you within easy reach of Bethnal Green via the Underground or Overground, making it simple to arrive without much planning.
