This summer exhibition at the M Shed museum in Bristol (England) invites you to discover the story making process of
Aardman’s, the makers of the Wallace & Gromit
films. There is a special connection with the town as the Aardman’s studios are
based in Bristol.
“I doodle. Doodling has always been important to me. That’s
where it all begins.” - Nick Park (Creator of Wallace & Gromit)
Nick Park’s sketchbooks
“I always keep a

start another one.” - Nick Park
