About the Collection
The director's 'Bleak House' holds thousands of objects devoted to the history of monsters — life-size figures, make-up effects artifacts, his own leather-bound notebooks, and Victorian curiosities — toured by LACMA, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Minneapolis Institute of Art as 'At Home with Monsters'.
Custodianship Philosophy
"Monsters are patron saints of imperfection — keep their relics close."
