Tim Burton's Labyrinth

[kerouac2]

Tim Burton's Labyrinth is a graphic exhibition that began in Spain.  It was in Madrid 29 September-9 April.  Now it is in Paris 19 May-20 August.  The next two destintions after that have not yet been chosen although there are approximate dates.  It is really a lot of stuff to move around and it needs a big space to set up.

About 20 people are allowed to enter every 10 minutes or so.  After you enter, you almost never see any of them again.

Rules are explained.  Each room has from 1 to 4 doors from which to choose.  Once you have gone through one of the doors, there's no going back.

just a few more moments to wait...

I doubt that anybody who has never seen a Tim Burton movie would understand any of this, but they might be intrigued.











I admit that it was impressive to enter this fantasy world which had only ever been on a screen.

Of course there were a lot of Tim Burton's sketches on display.





I was thrilled to see Edward Scissorhands up close because when you see the movie, the hands are always moving too fast to get a good look.





happier times for Johnny Depp...



Then of course there is Beetlejuice.



The floor was covered by a projection of crawling roaches.

I was not a big fan of Sweeney Todd.











I didn't know that Willy Wonka's walking stick was filled with sweets.

Johnny Depp certainly got a lot of jobs from Tim Burton.







plenty of merchandise at the exit



The employees await the next group.



I was quite perturbed. Due to all of the doors and the impossibility of backtracking, I have no idea if I saw everything.
