Final Days!
The Art & Technology of Animatronics
The MONSTERS! that have been lurking in the EXPLORADOME at the Saint Louis Science Center since May are about to go home! The summer exhibition Monsters! The Art and Technology of Animatronics closes on September 1, but tickets are still available. This is your last chance to discover the magic behind your favorite movie creatures and how they are made – with interactive exhibits you can really sink your claws into!
Created by Academy Award-winning animatronics expert John Cox, and his team from the John Cox Creature Workshop in Queensland, Australia, the MONSTERS! exhibition gives you a behind-the-scenes look at visual effects techniques and movie animatronics.
The exhibition maps the magical journey of monster creation from the original idea, to the storyboard and maquettes (small scale models), to the construction of the final, full-size pieces. Be sure to:
