Wallace & Gromit™ and Shaun the Sheep™: Shear Genius!, an interactive exhibition based on the popular film and television characters, is now open in the Gallery by General Motors in Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. This brand-new exhibit, created by Minnesota Children’s Museum in partnership with Aardman, runs through Sunday, April 20, 2025.

In this hands-on exhibit, visitors step into the environments of Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep – 62 West Wallaby Street and Mossy Bottom Farm – to explore the contraptions, antics and escapades of Wallace, Gromit, Shaun and other familiar Aardman characters through dramatic play and interactive opportunities.

Designed for children ages 3 through 9, Wallace & Gromit™ and Shaun the Sheep™: Shear Genius! builds on problem-solving themes found throughout both shows. Exhibit components and activities encourage children to playfully solve STEM-based and social-emotional problems in fun and engaging ways. Visitors will have the opportunity to experiment with iconic inventions in Wallace’s workshop including launching the porridge cannon, fixing the Autochef and activating the Knit-o-Matic and Get-U-Up Device. Guests will also learn about the history and people behind the Wallace & Gromit films and can create stop motion animation using materials found in the scrap heap.

Wallace & Gromit™ and Shaun the Sheep™: Shear Genius! is free for members and included in the general admission to Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. For updates on hours, tickets and more, visit thf.org or follow The Henry Ford on social media @thehenryford.
