SES is delighted to manage on behalf of CMT, the international touring programme of several of their exhibitions. Example exhibitions include:
- Mechanical Circus – a highly entertaining, interactive, educational exhibition that celebrates the story of how scientists used the following: mechanical exhibits; physics games; optical puzzles; and complex automata, to showcase their latest scientific ideas and discoveries. Displayed in a vibrant fair-ground and carnival atmosphere, the exhibition includes a wonderful and humorous combination of scientific tricks, facts, exhibits, spectacular experiments and marvelous mechanical pieces. CMT have collaborated with the Museum Boerhaave, Netherlands, and integrated elements of the Museum’s collection into the exhibition, drawing on their curatorial expertise to design and develop a truly memorable experience for school groups and family audiences.
- Curious Contraptions – an exhibition of two parts. Witty, beautifully hand-crafted automata are displayed alongside hands-on exhibits that show the basic mechanisms involved in making the automata work. Through the practical process of constructing these simple machines, visitors will learn about kinetic energy, levers, weights, pulleys, chains, gravity, the nature of apparent randomness of movement and friction.‘ By constructing imaginative and fun machines, learners will at the same time understand the basic principles of science.
