    I used to love going to see the swan when I was a little girl in the 50's and 60's.

    This is a timeless peace of art. The highest possible quality or workmanship. I remember going there when I was a kid.

    I can't believe this was made in the 1700s. That's absolutely incredible.

      I have seen this so many times because it’s just a walk down the street

      Cant even begin to fathom just exactly how something like this was made especially back then. If we think it’s amazing, imagine what they thought of it in the 1700’s and 1800’s.

      philoseth justice what no the music is from the 1700s. She copied it maybe. There’s one in Russia playing the same tune so Bjorne will have known the tune

    "is that it?" must surely go down as one of the most moronic questions of all time?

  • @athenathegreatandpowerful6365

    If the curator would stfu and allow the swan to just BE! Sigh

      Athena The Great and Powerful what on earth do you mean? It’s a robot/automaton. I’ve watched it day after day at 3pm when it chimes and eases the fish . At weekends it does this every hour
