Robots!
I saw an ad on Metro today for EMP’s robot collection on display through October 26th. The EMP website reads:
Robots: A Designer’s Collection of Miniature Mechanical Marvels celebrates our long fascination with humankind’s technological version of itself. This exhibition draws from a one-of-a-kind assemblage of toy robots, which noted designer Tom Geismar has been collecting for decades. Inspired by antique tin and wooden toys, samurai warriors and mid-20th century Japanese film characters, these intricately detailed and beautifully designed miniatures are set against EMP|SFM’s backdrop of life-sized robots, androids and cyborgs from the world of science fiction film and television.
I wish I had known that this was running sooner, but it’s not too late! It’s one of the rare worthwhile excuses to step into EMP.
Wesa,
The first thursday of the month is free at EMP/The Sci-fi Museum between 5 and 8 pm, plus there’s live music.
