A Curious Turn is an exhibition of automata: moving mechanical sculptures brought magically to life through a sequence of cogs, cams, cranks and levers. A Curious Turn features automata from the leading makers of the last 40 years, ranging from the humorous to the macabre, from the playful to the satirical. Visitors will be able to turn, push and crank to see many of the pieces in action
