Whilst at the exhibit, he interviewed daughter & Foundation trustee Vanessa Harryhausen to discuss her memories of growing up around Ray's films and creations. Hugh also spoke to conservator Alan Friswell about working with Ray, and about the restoration work carried out on the creature collection.
