I went to see Tim Burton's Art show in New York at the Museum of Modern Art. My girlfriend and I had some trouble getting there... We ended up in the wrong lane of a toll booth and couldn't pay it properly (my solution was to throw quarters out of the window) and upon finally getting to the museum it took us 40 minutes to find parking, after frantically calling Julee and asking for assistance. We literally RAN to the museum, and finally got into the show.
The show itself was really awesome. It included many sketches and drawings that he had done, some of which were really rough ideas that eventually became other projects like his movies. Some were done in his spare time while he was working for Disney. There were letters hung up that he had written to publishers, asking for his comics to get published, and welcoming any suggestions or criticisms they might have had regarding the work. They were all really interesting. There were tv's set up with animations he had done, and an entire room dedicated to costumes and models from his movies. The costume from Edward Scissor-Hands was there, along with helmets from Planet of the Apes. There were also manikins from his animated films, like Nightmare Before Christmas, and The Corpse Bride. The show was absolutely fantastic.
