Exhibit ends 1/27/2013...

I went to see this yesterday. Besides jaw dropping pieces made for royalty, they've got some excellent multi-media items demonstrating the moving parts, describing business practices, and even audio of clock songs...

For us woodworkers, they have the back removed from a piece. This allows us to not only see how the moving parts operated, but how little time was spent on cosmetics where it couldn't be seen.

If you can, go!
