Cabaret Mechanical Marvels Exhibition at Torre Abbey

Prepare to embark on an interactive journey into the wild and wonderful world of automata at the Cabaret Mechanical Marvels exhibition, opening at Torre Abbey on May 25th. This captivating showcase seamlessly weaves science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics into the enchanting universe of automata, celebrating mechanical artistry and innovation for visitors of all ages.

Founded in 1979 as a small craft shop in Cornwall, Cabaret Mechanical Theatre quickly gained international recognition for its handmade automata, collaborating with local artists to define automata as a craft genre. Today, it tours its extensive collection, inspiring future generations of automata makers.

On show within the historic Torre Abbey, Cabaret Mechanical Marvels features hands-on mechanical exhibits and original artefacts from some of the finest contemporary automata makers.

Don't miss our delightful line-up of creative events planned throughout the exhibition, designed to inspire curiosity and fuel imagination.

Join us at Torre Abbey and experience the wonder of automata!
