Celebrating over 50 years of Paddington on page and screen

In the run-up to the launch of the first Paddington movie, we explored how different illustrators and animators have interpreted Michael Bond's much-loved bear.

The exhibition brought together a selection of artwork from over 50 years of Paddington, from original drawings by Peggy Fortnum, Fred Banbery, David McKee and R. W. Alley, to clips from Ivor Wood's 1970s stop motion Paddington TV show and material from the new Paddington movie.
