In a world where art exhibits can be more “yawn” than “yeah!” comes a blockbuster retrospective from the mind of Tim Burton — the acclaimed filmmaker of Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands.

See the Tim Burton exhibit from a Badger perspective to enjoy:

  • A special presentation by UW-Madison professor of film Jeff Smith MA’89, PhD’95

  • A private, after-hours tour of the exhibit

  • An exclusive reception
Originally staged at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, Tim Burton became the third-most-attended exhibit in the museum’s history with more than 810,000 visitors.

So, explore the full range of Burton’s creative work as a director of films, and as an artist, photographer and writer, with Badgers in a relaxed setting.

Registration for the event is closed.
