The exhibition takes visitors behind the scenes of the creation of the feature-length animated film Tales from the Magic Garden. Through original sets and puppets, as well as numerous interactive elements, the exhibition presents the techniques, stages, and tricks of puppet stop-motion animation in an accessible and engaging way.
The exhibition guides visitors through the entire creative process: from scriptwriting and the making of sets and puppets to animation, voice recording, special effects, and final editing. Visitors are invited to walk among the masterfully crafted sets, where they can closely observe the puppets, props, concept art, and the design plans from which everything was created. Video interviews introduce all the key professions involved in making an animated film — including the lesser-known ones, such as the animator, voice actor, and set designer.
A variety of interactive elements throughout the exhibition allow children and adults to explore practical techniques on their own in a fun and creative way, deepening their understanding of animated filmmaking. At the end of the exhibition, visitors even have the chance to step into the magical world of the Tales from the Magic Garden themselves.
