Rego's most comprehensive drawings survey, from the 1950s to her final years

First retrospective of Wes Anderson's cinematic archive — 700+ objects across 30 years
"The Texan is the third film-maker to be given a retrospective at the Design Museum, following Stanley Kubrick and Tim Burton, and this is the pick of the three.
