Modern Automata Museum

The museum is located at the Castelletto di Vezzano (ninth century), a fortified outpost of Farfa Abbey.

The automata are small mechanical sculptures, made of paper, wood and metal, which are set in motion by the visitors of the museum.

They have been compared to Japanese Haiku and have been called by Lindoro Pazzotti "a small view of the world in a turn of the handle."

On the basis of these principles has been developed a teaching methodology and a box for the construction of automata from recycled materials at low cost.
