Exhibition - Rube Goldberg: The World of Hilarious Invention

Inspired by Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Rube Goldberg’s original illustrations and inventive storytelling, this exhibit contains a collection of new 3D, life-size machines and hands-on, interactive components that connect Rube’s hilarious cartoon contraptions to the way things work in the physical world.

In this exhibit, visitors can:

Move balls and ramps to trigger chain reactions in Wall Machines, then learn how they work by resetting each part.
Be inspired by Rube Goldberg’s drawing techniques to create your own hilarious cartoon in the Art Studio and then see how it looks at the Revolvometer.
Pull ropes to start a series of musical chain reactions in the large-scale sound animation Music Machine.
Step into one of Rube’s iconic wearables, “Self-Operating Napkin.”®, for a one-of-a-kind photo op.

Rube Goldberg™: The World of Hilarious Invention! Exhibit is created by the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh in partnership with the Heirs of Rube Goldberg.
