Guillermo del Toro's horror memorabilia to go on display at LACMA


Guillermo del Toro has amassed a vast collection of creepy art over the years. Now, he intends to share them with fans in a new exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which will run from July 31 to November 27.

Guillermo del Toro: At Home with Monsters will feature his personal collection of oddities, eccentricities, and just plain gross items. After its stint at LACMA, the exhibit will move on to the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Art Gallery of Ontario. For now, watch the visionary filmmaker take you on a tour of his Bleak House in the video below.
