The World Of Tim Burton opens today (March 21) at Pavilion Bukit Jalil in Kuala Lumpur. The pop-up museum and exhibition showcases a vast collection of drawings, paintings, puppets, sculptural installations, photographs and storyboards that give visitors a glimpse into the fantastical world of legendary American filmmaker/artist Tim Burton.

It includes original artwork from his popular films such as The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice, as well as lesser-known works like his Polaroid prints from the 1990s, personal figurative works and in-progress projects.
