Join ECHO for a special member night to see our new exhibit, Rube Goldberg™: The World of Hilarious Invention Exhibit! Enjoy a cash bar and light snacks provided by Sugarsnap, face painting by Little Artsy Faces, and a fun raffle.
ECHO Members: RSVP Here
The exhibit is up through September 7.
Inspired by Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Rube Goldberg’s original illustrations and inventive storytelling, this exhibit contains a collection of new 3D, life-size machines and hands-on, interactive components that connect Rube’s hilarious cartoon contraptions to the way things work in the physical world. In this exhibit, visitors can:
- Move balls and ramps to trigger chain reactions in Wall Machines, then figure out how they work by resetting each part.
- Be inspired by Rube Goldberg’s drawing techniques to create your own hilarious cartoon in the Art Studio and then see how it looks at the Revolvometer.
- Pull ropes to start a series of musical chain reactions in the large-scale sound animation Music Machine.
- Step into one of Rube’s iconic wearables, “Self-Operating Napkin.”®, for a one-of-a-kind photo op.
Rube Goldberg™: The World of Hilarious Invention! Exhibit is created by the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh in partnership with the Heirs of Rube Goldberg. Locally supported by Northfield Savings Bank.
