World-Building: The Words and Pictures of Curtis Jobling

‘World-Building’ launches on Saturday, 15 June, and it will be the first time Curtis has hosted a full-scale retrospective of his work in his hometown.

From Bob the Builder and Raa Raa the Noisy Lion all the way through to the upcoming Netflix adaptation Wolf King, the showcase will bring together almost 30 years of craftsmanship, imagination and storytelling.

The diverse exhibition will include stop-motion puppets and models, never-seen-before sketchbooks with early designs of characters, original manuscripts, first editions of books and artwork and maps from novels.

Museum visitors will also have an exclusive first-look at images from Netflix’s upcoming Wolf King animated series, based on Curtis’s Wereworld novels.
