Ray Harryhausen: Miniature Models of the Silver Screen

“Wonder stimulates the imagination…most people feel it is rather childish to have an imagination. I don’t agree with that; I think you should go through life and imagine the very best.”
– Ray Harryhausen

From the collection of the Ray & Diana Harryhausen Foundation in Edinburgh, Scotland, The Mini Time Machine Museum is honored to present a distinguished selection of miniature armatured models from Ray Harryhausen's most iconic films, including Clash of the Titans and Jason and the Argonauts! In a career that spanned over 30 years, Harryhausen’s groundbreaking “dynamation” techniques allowed live actors to seemingly interact with stop-motion creatures, dazzling audiences with special effects that would go on to inspire the work of contemporary filmmakers such as George Lucas, Peter Jackson, Guillermo del Toro, and Tim Burton. This acclaimed exhibition will spotlight his models, archival footage, artist sketches, original artworks, and film paraphernalia from the Harryhausen archives.

This exhibition features over 130 archival works from:
Clash of the Titans (1981)
Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956)
First Men in the Moon (1964)
It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955)
