Metropolis DIY FlipBookIt Flipscope

Put away those digital screens and indulge in this retro hand-cranked movie machine. The DIY FlipBookIt Flipscope displays motion art as you turn the handle—and this special edition includes image cards from Fritz Lang’s iconic 1927 silent film Metropolis, a work in MoMA’s collection. The cards illustrate one of the film’s most famous moments: “Maria’s Transformation,” the spectacular birth of a woman humanoid robot in the laboratory of the villainous inventor Rotwang. The Metropolis DIY FlipBookIt Flipscope measures 5h x 5w x 5"d. For ages 7+.
