Modern Automata Museum, Mechanical toy museum in Montopoli di Sabina, Italy.
The Modern Automata Museum displays 300 mechanical sculptures created from paper, wood, and metal that visitors can activate through handle turning.
The museum occupies a ninth-century fortified outpost of Farfa Abbey and obtained recognition from the Lazio Regional Museum organization in 2001.
Artists from Japan, America, Germany, Britain, France, Canada, South America, and Italy contribute to the permanent collection of intricate mechanical figures.
The museum offers guided tours, educational workshops, and temporary exhibitions, teaching participants the seven fundamental mechanical principles for creating automata.
The collection includes 'Turkish Soup' by Paul Spooner and exhibitions incorporating recycled materials into mechanical sculptures that tell stories through motion.
