New York’s Museum of Modern Art invites its patrons to enter a dark and dreamlike world through January 7. Welcome to the Quay Brothers’s first major retrospective.

The exhibit, On Deciphering the Pharmacist’s Prescription for Lip-Reading Puppets, displays works across all disciplines of the Quays’s creative activity—including an array of dioramas, illustration art, objects, graphic design, drawings, and calligraphy. From the avant-garde stop-motion puppet animations for which they are best known to never-before-seen personal ephemera, the show entrances with a dark, otherworldly quality that marvels even as it haunts. —Sasha Levine (@sashalevine)
