Automata workshop and Studios<\/b><\/p>\n
AutomatomaniA, also known as “The House of Automata” is a gothic stone workshop and store rooms on the beautiful Altyre Estate near Forres in Scotland. Run by Michael and Maria Start, they are both professional automata restorers, and are “dedicated to promoting knowledge of the subject and inspiring new makers.”
\nThe large collection spans 300 years of automata many of which are rare and delicate. A pre-arranged visit and tour will include performances of the working pieces and a full expose of the anatomy of mechanical life, from a ship the size of a fingernail to the glamorous Nancy, a larger than life lady automaton.<\/p>\n
