7. A Grand Gromplication

Standing proud in the centre of the foyer of the Bristol Museum you can find the clockwork inspired 7. A Grand Gromplication

There are clocks and gears across the whole sculpture.

I love the working clock on the nose.

With these clockwork decorations I was reminded both of steampunk but also the clockwork robots from Doctor Who, which the clock bands are also reminiscent of the Calpadi era title sequence.

Back in 2015 I attempted to see and photograph all 70 Shaun the Sheeps I managed to get 62. This time I am aiming to get all 67 sculptures. I have created this page to record all the sculptures we find. Download the app to find the sculptures.

In the museum

In Bristol Museum is probably one of my favourite Shauns, 27. Baaack to the DrawingBoard.

27. Baaack to the Drawing Board - Shaun the Sheep

As you can see, this Shaun is covered in storyboards from the original Wallace and Gromit tale which starred Shaun the Sheep, before he went off and got his own TV show.

You could spend ages looking at this Shaun, which you couldn’t as everyone was waiting to take photographs of it….

In the entrance foyer is 28. Arabian Lights, and like some other Shauns this one has lights.

Didn’t think much of this one myself, difficult to photograph too with the windows behind it.
