On Saturday we joined a group of friends mostly memebers of the West Midlands Steampunk Assembly for a visit to the Thinktank Museum in Birmingham, the main reason for the visit was to see the exhibition "Mechanical Things". An exhibition of artwork, automata, sculpture all kinetic in nature and featuring the work of Rowland Emmet, world famous and known for his work on the film "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang".
We had a good turnout and it was a great visit, lots of steam engines in the museum and a railway engine, a couple of aircraft, a Hurricane and a Spitfire but the highlight was being allowed to sit in the car, the actual Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and take photos. Awesome.
