Steampunk

The Oxford Museum of Science is currently home to a great little exhibition on the subject of Steampunk - seemingly the first collection of such artworks ever collected like this in the world.

I've always found steampunk to be an interesting area with the wonderfully creative machines that they built. I suppose my introduction would have been through something like The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, but there is more and more fiction about now.

It's a really great collection, and since the it's there until February 2010, you really should visit if you get the chance.
