As part of
Tim Burton: The Exhibition, we put out a special call for under 18s to show us their tour-guiding skills for the chance to meet Tim Burton and lead a special tour through the exhibition.
Our eight lucky tour guides had the chance to sit down and chat with Tim Burton when he was in town to open the exhibition back in June, and also had their own guided tour by one of the MoMA curators, Ron Magliozzi. Read all about their experience on the
ACMI Blog.
They then led public tours through the exhibition, imparting their knowledge of Tim's work to an eager public.
