MAD stands for mechanical art & design. A highly interactive attraction based in the delightful Stratford-Upon-Avon, we are proud to be the UK’s only permanent museum of mechanical art. 

+ MY LISTMAD is perfect for a school visit that looks to incorporate learning of the STEAM Subjects – Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Maths. The museum encourages pupils to interact, examine and be inspired by the one-off inventions on display. From giant mesmerising marble runs, to giant mechanical birds, MAD is crammed full of ingenious, creative engineering.

Our £5 per pupil ticket not only provides entry into the museum, but also complimentary teacher resources, activity packs for pupils, free recce visits for 2 teachers, as well as further discounts on our brilliant Timbertech automata kits.

Free Teacher’s Resources – Resources for before, during and after a trip to MAD. Lesson plans, explanations, facts and tips which all support the national curriculum.

Cam Automata & Linkages Kits – Support your topic and a trip to MAD with a classroom activity. Build a choice of 3 different mechanisms with these easy-to-follow construction kits.
