About this Event

Here you will find a collection of eccentric wooden machines that use old-school technology : gears, cams, levers…those twisty bits… All working together to produce interesting effects in drawing machines, ball runners and automata. But of course nothing happens without the visitors helping out… by turning the handles! More info:
