We invite you to discover the wonderful world of Robert Race. His ingenious inventions combine humour, wit and wonder, and a delight in re-purposing discarded objects and found, recycled and natural materials. He is an exceptionally skilled maker of toys and automata and his work delights children and adults alike. Come lift your spirits and be enchanted!

All the exhibits are very fragile and delicate. To help us keep them safe, visitor numbers will be limited. Please be patient - you may have to wait until there is space to let you in, so you have enough room to enjoy looking. The gallery steward will be able to show you how some of the wonderful kinetic sculptures move. Please be aware that some exhibits need to rest now, after welcoming over 8,000 visitors! If you are visiting with children, don’t forget that there are lots of FREE family explorer trails to enjoy in the Museum - please ask at reception. Thank you.

Entry to this special exhibition is free, donations are very welcome.

With many thanks to Robert Race for showing this unique collection in Stroud.
