An Aster­oid City exhi­bi­tion is land­ing in London

New Wes, new merch. Just in time for Aster­oid City to blast off in the UK and Ire­land on 23 June, fans will be able to admire a range of orig­i­nal art­work of Wes Anderson’s eleventh release – as well as get­ting their hands on lim­it­ed edi­tion mer­chan­dise – in the capital.

Aster­oid City, the lat­est film from Isle of Dogs and The Grand Budapest Hotel direc­tor, takes place in a fic­tion­al Amer­i­can desert town around 1955, where the itin­er­ary of their annu­al Junior Stargaz­er Con­ven­tion does not quite go to plan…

This spe­cial pop-up exhi­bi­tion at 180 The Strand cel­e­brates every artis­tic detail of Anderson’s new film, in a sim­i­lar way to pre­vi­ous pop-ups. Vis­i­tors have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to see orig­i­nal sets, props, minia­tures, cos­tumes and art­work fea­tured in Aster­oid City. The exhi­bi­tion is accom­pa­nied by trade­mark Ander­son sounds and visu­als – so the sound­track for vis­i­tors’ Tik­Tok videos imag­in­ing them­selves in one of his films is sort­ed already.

As well as expe­ri­enc­ing the pas­tel-toned scenery up close and per­son­al, there is also the chance for tick­et hold­ers to immerse them­selves in the film by din­ing out at the film’s icon­ic 1950s din­er, the Lun­cheonette. For hard­core Wes fans and col­lec­tors, exclu­sive vinyls of the sound­track and the screen­play are just some of the good­ies avail­able to buy.

You can find the pop-up 180 Stu­dios, 180 The Strand, 12pm to 7pm from 17 June – 8 July. Tick­ets are avail­able to buy now, with under 12s get­ting in for free. If you’re state­side, don’t wor­ry – Los Ange­les locals can expe­ri­ence their own immer­sive expe­ri­ence at Land­mark The­aters Sun­set.

If you can’t wait until then to get your dose of Ander­son con­tent, the upcom­ing Issue 99 of Lit­tle White Lies has got you covered.

Aster­oid City is released in UK and Irish cin­e­mas on June 23.
