Mary Shelley: Lady Prometheus

Bring the wonder of the Steampunk era to your venue with “Lady Prometheus”—an extraordinary, high-impact piece that blends historical intrigue with cutting-edge engineering. Mary Shelley is not just a display; she is a mesmerizing centerpiece that commands attention. Featuring glowing electronic bulbs, intricate wiring, authentic-looking gauges, and a pulsating plasma heart, this ambulatory Humachine creates an unforgettable experience for museum-goers of all ages.

Jan Matzeliger: The Shoemachine

Invite the revolutionary spirit of industrial ingenuity to your venue with the “Shoemachine”—a masterwork of mechanical engineering that transformed an ancient craft into a modern marvel. For millennia, shoemaking was a laborious and exclusive art, accessible only to those who could afford the hand-stitched craft of a master cobbler. Jan Matzeliger’s 1883 invention shattered these barriers, mechanizing the complex process of “shoe lasting” and forever changing the landscape of global manufacturing.
