Darth Vapour: Dark Lord of the Steam

The Greatest Steampunk Exhibition, the largest exhibition of Steampunk art, craft and engineering, is running through August 29, 2011 at the Kew Bridge Steam Museum in West London. The exhibition contains over one hundred Steampunk exhibits from all over the world, ranging from paintings and artworks through costumes and fabrics to machines and engines, together with sound installations and short films. Included: “Darth Vapour: Dark Lord of the Steam,” which recalls the Imperial German design from which the original Star Wars characters’ costumes were derived.

Visitors to the exhibition will also be able to enjoy all the other attractions of the Kew Bridge Steam Museum, including the giant Victorian pumping engines which will be operating most weekends.
