An amazing Meccano show created by Telford and Ironbridge Meccano Society, Shropshire will be an extra bonus for anyone visiting Enginuity, the Ironbridge Gorge hands-on design and technology museum, during the early May Bank Holiday weekend. From Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May 2009, the ‘Meccanuity’ exhibition will feature an impressive array of large and small working Meccano models in Enginuity’s unique event space, formerly the dramatic Engine Shop of the Coalbrookdale ironworks.
Among the intricate working models will be a wide selection of Meccano creations ranging from huge working tower cranes, a scale model of the Royal Scot Locomotive and a truck and trailer measuring almost three metres long, to a clockwork worm, a Ferris wheel, a Spitfire, Concorde and Stevenson’s rocket.
A Passport, to all ten of the Ironbridge Gorge Museums valid for twelve months and multiple return visits, costs £19.95 per adult, £15.95 for the 60 plus, £12.95 for students and children and £54.95 for a family of two adults and three children aged up to 18 years in full time education; under 5s free. Individual museum entry tickets are also available.
