Go and see exhibits by Peter Markey, Keith Newstead, Carlos Zapata, Paul Spooner and Ron Fuller and find out how they work by trying out the interactive displays.

New Show at Oxfordshire Museum

Cabaret Mechanical Marvels exhibition opens at The Oxfordshire Museum in Woodstock on the 25 September. It’s free entry every day except Monday and there’s no need to book. Come and see iconic automata such as Paul Spooner’s Barecats as well as other pieces from our collection of the UK’s finest contemporary makers. Try out the interactive displays and explore mechanisms and learn more about CMT’s history and origins from the early days in Falmouth, Cornwall.

The English Spring in Hastings

Have you seen The English Spring at Hastings Museum yet?

It’s been wonderful to display Paul Spooners new automaton. You’ll be mesmerised by the 100 beautifully carved wooden figures, each one evoking their own story and accompanied by working organ pipes . We are planning a UK tour so watch out for posts about future venues. You have until 🗓 Sunday 29 August to see it at @hastings_museum alongside the rest of the automata in the Ingenious Contraptions exhibition, don’t forget to book your ticket
