Mechanical Circus

Roll up! Roll up! All the Fun of the Fair at Tullie House.

The Amazing Flying Reiver has brought his automata friends to town and they have taken over the Art Gallery.

This entertaining, circus-style exhibition combines modern mechanical sculptures with centuries-old physics games and puzzles to prove that science and technology are alive and absorbing – there’s never a dull moment here!

For the first time in the UK, you can see the marvellous, hilarious and at times hair-raising automata of the Mechanical Cabaret Theatre together with the scientific tricks, toys and spectacular experiments of the Museum Boerhaave, the Netherland’s state museum of science and medicine.
