On November 22^nd, the Museum Of Modern Art opens its Tim Burton exhibition to the public. Burton is perhaps best known for his Gothic cinematic genius, which has brought us iconic classics including Beetle Juice, Edward Scissorhands, and the decrepitly lovable Nightmare Before Christmas.

His lesser known, yet equally creative youth saw Burton creating a series of sketches and artwork, some of which went on to become the focal point of his notorious pieces, and others that represent unrealized projects. The exhibition will show examples of his non-film based work as a story-teller and graphic artist; with mediums including drawings, paintings, storyboards, digital and moving-image formats, puppets and maquettes, props, costumes, ephemera, sketchbooks, and cartoons.

Pre-opening ‘behind the scenes tours’ are available on the 19^th and 22^nd of November, which include a one hour private tour of the collection, followed by a screening of Beetle Juice. Tickets run at $55 and are likely to sell out fast.
