Wonder Workshop: Animal Automaton
Wonder Workshop explores The Bowes Museum's collection through art, science, technology, engineering and maths.
From how mechanisms work to the meaning of symbols in paintings and the history of well-known pieces. This session encourages young people to make connections, explore ideas and dig deeper.
Enjoy the spectacular Silver Swan performance then design your own moving animal automaton while exploring movement, imagination and simple mechanism.
