About Tim Burton
Artist and director Tim Burton is one of the most fascinating filmmakers of his time. His characteristic style marked his films such as Beetlejuice (1988), Batman (1989), Edward Scissorhands (1990), The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack (1993), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), The Funeral Wedding (2005), Alice in Wonderland (2010) or Wednesday (2022), his most recent production by Netflix.
Long before becoming a director, Tim Burton’s genius was expressed through drawing, painting and photography, which are now an integral part of his creative process. Inventor of his own aesthetic, both mysterious and supernatural, Tim Burton is at the origin of many films and works that have become great classics of cinema.
Tim Burton Labyrinth Exhibition Paris
From Alice in Wonderland to Mars Attacks! passing by The Nightmare Before Christmas or even Charlie and La Chocolaterie and Beetlejuice you can walk amongst film history with all the Tim Burton twists and madness you’ve come to expect.
An unmissable event designed for young and old alike, the exhibition consists of a hundred original works by the director in this colourfully vibrant exploration of a visionary filmmaker
The exhibition opened on May 19th to the general public and will run until August 20th and tickets are priced at 16 euros per person regardless of age.
As you can see from the photos we’ve been provided with (thanks to the organisers for that!) every corner is a photo opportunity just waiting to happen. Your instagram will be awash with incredible images and I love how there are numerous routes throughout to get lost in a world of Tim Burton.

Tickets are available on the Tim Burton – Le Labyrinthe website and on the Fnac network.
Each room as unique as the last guests must be advised that the experience contains strobe lighting and the approximate duration of the experience is around one hour.
We’re crossing our fingers and toes (and anything else that we can cross) that we can make it to the exhibition before it closes. I’m a huge fan of Tim’s work and the amount of effort and level of detail the sets and experience seems to portray is off the charts.
It really is a must-see experience and if by some catastrophic failure we miss it this time around I hope and pray it arrives in the UK one day soon!
It’s with great pleasure that I present you the below video on our attractions spin off page Lift Hills and Thrills. Thanks to the organisers we were given footage to edit of the attraction so we compiled the following 2 minute video for you to enjoy.
