EXCLUSIVE: In another move showing the growing awards momentum of Guillermo del Toro‘s acclaimed movie, Frankenstein, the stunning exhibition “Frankenstein: Crafting a Tale Eternal” will be coming from its successful run in London straight to Los Angeles on Monday January 5 2026 thru January 11 at the NYA Studios West in Hollywood, and just in time for Oscar nomination voting.
The Netflix movie has been on a roll and just this week was shortlisted in 6 Oscar crafts categories, and in fact every single one that it was eligible in. It also has been nominated for 11 Critics Choice Awards including Best Picture and Director, as well as for 5 Golden Globe Awards including Motion Picture (Drama) and Director.
David Fincher, George Lucas and Mellody Hobson are scheduled to host and moderate a screening with the filmmaking team on opening night with additional programming to come.
The immersive exhibition will celebrate del Toro’s visionary storytelling and the exceptional craftsmanship of the Frankenstein team. Diving deep into his elaborate filmmaking process, it will showcase an impressive collection of stunning props, artwork, costumes, Tiffany & Co. jewelry featured
in the film and rare books curated by the firm Peter Harrington to honor Mary Shelley’s legacy.
Guillermo del Toro tells Deadline: “We have been anticipating bringing this exhibition from London to Los Angeles. I believe it to be revelatory. With Frankenstein, we wanted to test the limits of every craft in movie making—handmade sets, miniatures, wardrobe and cinematography—just to name a few —and this exhibit is a celebration of those traditions. It is an honor to invite everyone to take a closer look at how our crafts team and I have meticulously and exhaustively labored to bring Mary Shelley’s world to
life in what we hope is an eloquent, operatic way.”
Free tickets to tour the exhibit will be available for select dates.
