Entertain your visitors with a hands-on experience based on the classic pre-film animation device: the zoetrope - but with a twist.
This is a unique fundraising opportunity led by the popularity of hands-on exhibits, providing customisable interpretation that can be updated over time.
The Magical Mechanical Movie Machine is suitable for all venues including museums and galleries, science and visitor centres, non-profits and religious organisations.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The donation (you choose how much), is made at the exhibit with a simple tap of a contactless bank card onto the integrated terminal. This starts the activity.
