Come engage with a special exhibition at the Exploratorium—available only for a limited time over the holidays—featuring gears and cams, linkages and drives, ratchets and levers. Our friends at Cabaret Mechanical Theater have produced this charming exploration of these everyday mechanisms that provide the power behind their rather extraordinary and droll automata, as well as those in the Exploratorium’s collection. Tonight, try your hand at animating your own simple automata and sip a cocktail while you take in an exhibition that’s part engineering, part physics, and all art.
