The Art Exhibit That Teaches Science

Click on a letter below to see any of the Contraptions.

Contraptions A to Z is a unique hands on exhibit that combines art, history, science, music, literature, and language. It reveals the fascinating mechanisms that are often hidden in black boxes with a playful, humorous approach.

26 interactive mechanical devices combine to create Contraptions A to Z.

Each literally embodies a different letter of the alphabet. Individual interactive exhibits include Antique Apple Peelers, the Berserko Ball Bouncer, Cuckoo Cuckoo Clock, the Drum Machine (the exhibit’s centerpiece), the Emu’s Egg Engulfs the Egg Scale, the Frog Flinging Frypan Flips Flapjacks Faultlessly, Gear Gizmos, and the rest of the alphabet, from Nervous Nelly to Quackers Quzzing Don Quixote on his Quest, all the way to the Zebras Zooming Zanily in a Zooetrope.
