“Ray Harryhausen – Mythical Menagerie” is a never-before-seen exhibition of the original models, prototypes, bronzes, sketches and storyboards of the fantasy films of stop-motion animation pioneer Ray Harryhausen. The exhibition is the first of its kind in the U.S. and can only be seen in Oklahoma City.
