Automata: Miniature Mechanized Narratives. Do you know what an automaton is? It’s a little scene that comes to life, traditionally with clockwork mechanisms, but, today, often with a crank that the viewer is invited to wind up to bring the scene to life him or herself. At this exhibit, you’ll see more than 40 of these charming lil’ creations. Watch a heart use friction to rotate a series of spheres in “Love Makes the World Go Round,” or watch a figurine “levitate” in Pierre Mayer’s “Fechner’s Levitation on Stool.” This exhibit is from the collection of metalsmith Michael Croft, and includes the whimsical, clever work of 23 contemporary artists. Showing through Jan. 27. 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 4 p.m. Sundays and closed Mondays and major holidays. The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures, 4455 E. Camp Lowell Drive. $9 GA, $8 senior, $6 students and youth 4 to 17. Details here.
