Here are some pics and a vid from the Steampunk Exhibition at the Museum of the History of Science at the University of Oxford. (I shot these mostly without a flash, as flash is prohibited in a museum environment. Also, the glass cases were daunting, as the camera focuses on the reflections of the glass- and not the magnificent detail of the objects on display inside the case.) I truly wish that these pics could convey is the level of sheer excitement at the show. These photos were shot during off-hours because the crowds inside the exhibit made it impossible to shoot anything. The works here must be seen in person to appreciate the world-class level of artistry in this show. I am in awe at the artist's talent and ingenuity. I'll title each pic later on. More to come as I organize the pics and vids.
Cheers! Art Donovan, Curator
