The Queen's Gallery was amazing. The pictures and all of the display items are gorgeous and in perfect condition. It was nice to be able to see them that close. The gun collection was amazing, I've never seen a display with these guns featured. The time machine in the Steampunk exhibition was fun to see and the different apparatuses, the hats were great. The exhibits were the right size, not too many, not too few so you could finish in about two hours.Written on Jan 02 2012

We learned a lot about Victorian England, India, the charge of the light brigade, and there were some really nice examples of ornate British weapons. The Steampunk, although limited, was very fun and there were some interesting Disney references. A great Nautilus model and other stuff for Jules Verne fans. We had a good time.Written on Nov 22 2011

Really enjoyed the Queens Gallery & learned some new things of the Victorian era.Written on Dec 19 2011
Steam Punk was interesting. But I expected to see more exibits & perhaps something on the developement of the Steampunk movement. The real highlight was speaking to the club members downstairs in the Carnige building.

Description
When you enter the world of Steampunk: History Beyond Imagination you enter a world where the future shakes hands with the past, and where humanity’s innovative nature inspires future generations to do the impossible. Premiering at MUZEO, the exhibition is a fantastic and factual account of how the 19th Century’s inventive thinkers and writers launched mankind into the 20th Century – and beyond.
"Steampunk" is considered by many to be a growing modern reaction to man’s conquering of scientific boundaries. As technology and science took us beneath the sea, to the Earth’s interior and even to the moon, humanity began to wonder if its reach had, indeed, exceeded his grasp. Writers, artists and craftsmen began to entertain the notion of what life would have been like had circumstances pushed these innovations just a little bit further. We might have had computers before gas combustion engines, the Internet before the microchip, or warships in the air before the Wright Brothers ever flew. This spawned a whole new sub-genre of science fiction - Steampunk. With this new sub-genre came a whole fresh aesthetic...a Neo-Victorian examination of clothing, gadgets, art, music and literature.
Historians consider “The Great Age of Steam” to last over a century and a half, beginning in 1780 and lasting until the end of World War I. This era witnessed the birth of flight, powerful locomotives, mechanical industries, methods of worldwide communication, electricity and even space exploration. Something else was happening at this time, however – the social and scientific movements that would shape our lives today. Steampunk: History Beyond Imagination will give MUZEO patrons a glimpse into the amazing history of this era.
Steampunk: History Beyond Imagination features biographical information and artifacts from the Victorian era’s greatest visionary writers, and the scientific giants they inspired. Writers like H.G.Wells, Jules Verne, and Edgar Allan Poe pushed the limits of scientific thought with their fiction and paved the way for inventors and thinkers like Nikola Tesla, Ada Lovelace, Sigmund Freud and even Albert Einstein. These authors’ works have been transformed into iconic films featuring imagery that has inspired the genre. The exhibit will feature artwork, photos and props from some of these films – including replicas of The Nautilus from “20,000 Leagues Under The Sea” (1954) and a full size Time Machine from the 1960 film of the same name.
On a self-guided tour, patrons will also be able to see amazing works of art, fashion and literature, including rare books, film quality props from the Jules Verne themed theater troupe Legion, amazing fashions from designer Autumn Adamme, beautifully crafted leather helmets by Thomas Banwell and a brass-skinned elephant built by newcomer artist Robert Overstreet.
Created by Aeronaut Productions LLC, Steampunk: History Beyond Imagination is an educational experience that will both enlighten and entertain!
