"I'm late, I'm late for a very important date." Follow the waistcoat-wearing, pocket-watch carrying White Rabbit down the rabbit hole and into the world premiere exhibition of Wonderland at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI). The exhibition running from 5 April to 7 October 2018, celebrates Lewis Carroll's classic tale (written in 1865) of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.



Alice first appeared on the silver screen way back in 1903 and since then has delighted audiences of all ages in hundreds of productions. From animation and Disney's 1951 adaptation to plays and movies for TV and the big screen, the story has been told countless times. There has even been a "naughty" not suitable for children version made.

The Wonderland exhibition looks at how our heroine Alice has inspired filmmaking over the years. Take a step through the magical looking glass at this immersive and interactive enchanted world of special effects, optical illusions, computer animation, video games and a remarkable selection of behind-the-scenes material. A wonderful treat for fans of special film effects.



Things will become curious-er and curious-er as the exhibition follows the earliest moving image adaptations and moves through the ages. From silent film to video games, you'll see the influence this classic has had on fashion, music and advertising.

During the running of the exhibition, there will be a range of special talk and events. See the website for details and to book tickets to these events.

General tickets are priced as follows and can be purchased here :

Adult $25
Concession $21
Members $20
Child (4-15 years) $16
Family tickets $65

The exhibition has timed entry, however, you can to stay as long as you like and will be open from 10am - 5pm daily.



Join Alice as she meets the tyrannical Queen of Hearts as she shouts out "off with their heads" whenever displeased. Or maybe join The Hatter, March Hare and Dormouse in drinking a nice cup of tea and eating bread with butter. You'll be grinning like a Cheshire Cat.
