RAM is partnering with Accidentally Wes Anderson, a popular digital platform and international community, to bring ‘Accidentally Wes Anderson: Adventures in Wisconsin’ to RAM Downtown from February 24 through June 13, 2027. The exhibition will mark the project’s Midwest premiere.
When the exhibition opens in February, it will combine Accidentally Wes Anderson photography from around the world with community-submitted images from Racine and across Wisconsin. The call for submissions will remain open through November 15, 2026, on the Accidentally Wes Anderson website.
Works from RAM’s collection will be displayed alongside loaned pieces, including sculpture, jewelry, works on paper, artistic taxidermy, miniatures and other curiosities. The pieces will be arranged in cinematic vignettes inspired by the visual language associated with Anderson’s films, creating a journey through destinations both close to home and around the globe.
The photographs of Accidentally Wes Anderson reveal a world where symmetry, color and distinctive details can transform everyday places into extraordinary scenes.
Accidentally Wes Anderson has grown into a global community of more than 2 million travelers, photographers, designers, artists and cultural explorers celebrating real places that evoke the distinctive visual world of Wes Anderson. Its offbeat local character—from iconic lighthouses and Frank Lloyd Wright architecture to the retro charm of the HobNob Supper Club, Mars Cheese Castle and Wisconsin’s enduring summer-camp traditions—reflects the same spirit of unexpected wonder found in the exhibition’s photographs.
