Steampunk

13 October 2009 to 21 February 2010

We present the world’s first exhibition of Steampunk art!

Imagine the technology of today with the aesthetic of Victorian science. From redesigned practical items to fantastical contraptions, this exhibition, curated by Art Donovan, showcases the work of eighteen Steampunk artists from across the globe, many of whom gathered for the opening – as you can see by exploring the photo album.

Expect ’steam-powered’ computer mice, clockwork hearts, brass goggles and the latest state-of-the-Steampunk-art eye-pod… now on video.

To coincide with the exhibition, Secondary School Art and D&T departments are invited to submit students’ work to The Great Steampunk Art and Design Competition! For more information about the competition download the leaflet here.

A special issue of the Museum’s publication Broad Sheet, which includes a specially commissioned Steampunk comic strip created by Sydney Padua can be downloaded here.
