“Steampunk Springfield: Reinventing an Industrial City” opens this Saturday at the Springfield Museums! Originated in the 1980’s, the term “Steampunk” describes a fantasy world where steam-powered technology of the Victorian era merges with elements of contemporary time. Steampunk has since grown into an artistic and design subculture combining science fiction, history, fantasy and technology. A series of ambitious exhibits and events all tied to this unique art genre will be taking place in a citywide collaboration between cultural institutes throughout Springfield through September!
