Visit an interactive Automata wonderland.

The House of Automata in Forres, Scotland, is a place where the magic of moving machines comes to life. We specialise in automata old and new, restored and celebrated by our small team: Michael, an award-winning horologist, Maria, a talented sculptor and painter, and Hector, a fine arts graduate. Alongside our busy restoration workshop, visitors can enjoy an ever-changing exhibition of fascinating automata—curious, playful, and full of surprise.
