Fall down the rabbit hole with The Victoria and Albert Museum‘s Alice: Curiouser and Curiouser, the London-based museum exhibition as well as a book that features the art direction of illustrator Kristjana J. Williams. This making-of video also highlights the work of V&A designer Sousou Kim.
The exhibition runs from March 27th, 2021 until December 2021. From the book’s description:
Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland is a cultural phenomenon. First published in 1865, it has never been out of print and has been translated into 170 languages. But why does it have such enduring and universal appeal for both adults and children? …This unique publication takes us on a journey whose scope ranges from art, literature, theatre and film through science and technology to fashion and politics, encouraging us to ask whether we should all try to be more like Alice.
In partnership with HTC Vive Arts, the V&A has also released an illustration-driven VR experience. The £4 game can be downloaded through Viveport. Watch the trailer:
