After which, you'll enter the colourful installation filled with references to Lewis Carroll's books and the films. One of the most recognisable ones is The White Rabbit, except he's pink here, as is his pocket watch.

The Caterpillar is also on display in a giant form, looking less rude than he's usually depicted and without his signature hookah pipe.

Of course, the famous Cheshire Cat is also included in this installation. You'll find him wearing his signature grin while lying on a bed of flowers.

Psst! If you're a Cheshire Cat fan, check out the wireless phone & AirPods charger that's designed looks like the cat's butt, complete with a fluffy striped tail.
