“We go to different locations, different cities around the world,” Wally said. “And we explore beyond the Top 10 list and explore interesting architectural design and cultural locations, and maybe little tidbits about places that you did know.”
At the account’s inception, Wally said he was more excited about it than his wife. But as the account grew and Amanda saw the account’s impact and growth, “She was on board.”
Years later and with a following of 1.4 million people, Accidentally Wes Anderson is known to explore hidden gems in cities around the world.
“Maybe it's uncovering interesting things about the Renwick gallery or other Smithsonian properties that you didn't necessarily know about their history or what they have inside of them,” Wally said. “We were able to … unlock some doors, which we're excited to share with everybody. But also a lot of it comes from our community as well.”
