Amazing automata fascinate Cornwall museum visitors

A collection of automata have been drawing in visitors to the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro.

Those behind the Marvellous Mechanical Museum exhibition said it was a blend of art and science, and full of fun.

The automata, plural of automaton - a small, mechanical figure that can move automatically - are helping those who visit learn about mechanics, engineering and construction as well as art.
