Meet the Android Automatons of Neuchâtel | Jaquet-Droz Automata

Step back in time with us as we explore the captivating world of 18th-century mechanical dolls at the Museum of Art and History in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Created by Pierre Jaquet-Droz and his son, these mechanical marvels were a sensation in 1774 and continue to amaze today. Witness the intricate craftsmanship and lifelike movements of these dolls, including a schoolboy artist drawing a portrait of Louis XV, a young girl playing the piano forte, and the oldest puppet, The Scribe, capable of writing messages. Discover how these automatons blur the lines between art and engineering, offering a unique glimpse into the technological ingenuity of the past. Join us for a journey into history, where mechanical wonders bring the 18th century to life. #MechanicalDolls #NeuchatelMuseum.
