Are you fascinated by kinetic art/automatons? Oh, is there an exhibit for you!
The Morris Museum is now showing (March 16 - June 20, 2018) a special exhibition in the large main gallery entitled “A Cache of Kinetic Art: Curious Characters,” featuring the creative energy and vitality of kineticism as expressed through the living form: figures, be they human, animal or fantasy. This is the first in a four-year series at the museum, devoted to the kinetic art form.
