Wallace and Gromit aim to inspire with London show
Great news for Wallace and Gromit fans like myself:
Popular plasticine duo Wallace and Gromit are spearheading a drive to inspire young inventors, in a new exhibition at London’s Science Museum.”Wallace and Gromit present a World of Cracking Ideas”, at the museum from March 28 to November 1, was devised by the animation’s creators Nick Park and Aardman Studios.
The two-million-pound (2.1-million-euro, 2.9-million-dollar) show will take visitors to 62 West Wallaby Street, home to eccentric inventor Wallace and his faithful four-legged friend Gromit, inviting them to suggest their own gadgets.
“I think when I was little things were less provided for you,” Park, who hopes the display will inspire children, said at a press view of the exhibition.
“I think, like Wallace, I’m of that generation where you never throw anything away.”
Millions of people, not just kids, are fans of Wallace and Gromit, the merry duo. It’s good to see that their investors take their social responsibilities serious.
More than anything else, W&G are proof of what creativity and hard work can accomplish. Park and others had a vision, carried it out and refused to give up. They ended up being the best in their business.
