Robots: A Designer's Collection of Miniature Mechanical Marvels July 8, 2008

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.
