About

The Sharmanka Kinetic Gallery is a theatre of kinetic sculpture, in Glasgow, Scotland. The museum features mechanical figures which perform shows.

It is a collaboration between sculptor-mechanic Eduard Bersudsky, theatre director Tatyana Jakovskaya, and light and sound designer Sergey Jakovsky. The word "sharmanka" (шарманка) is Russian for hurdy-gurdy or barrel-organ.
