Ray Harryhausen Display
Objects from the Ray Harryhausen Collection will be on public display in the Insight: Collection and Research Centre lobby (access via the Kodak Gallery, Lower Ground Floor).
Ray Harryhausen is a world-renowned master of stop-motion animation famous for bringing mythical creatures to life in films such as Jason and the Argonauts (1963) and Clash of the Titans (1981).
We recently agreed to acquire Ray Harryhausen's complete personal collection including original models and artwork from his film career. Highlights of this collection will be shown in this small themed display as they arrive.
The work of Ray Harryhausen can also be seen in our Animation Gallery.
