Did you know... a young Charles Dickens visited America and fell in love with Lowell?

Steampunk Soirée—Steamer, held at Revolving Museum
on 290 Jackson Street in Lowell, Massachusetts, from 5:30-8:00pm

Join the Revolving Museum for a steamin' night and travel in time to the Victorian era in celebration of Charles Dickens' 200th birthday! The first in a series of of many great Steamers to come as well as RM's first fundraiser of 2012!

The Steampunk Soirée will unveil Mobilis in Mobili, a steampunk-themed exhibition presented by ModVic, a modern Victorian home restoration company owned by Steampunk artist Bruce and Melanie Rosenbaum.

Mobilis in Mobili will be on view for the Lowell Winterfest WinterWalk, Thursday, February 9, 6-9pm, and will stay up for the entire month of February so everyone gets a chance to experience this awe-inspiring exhibition. RM's hours are Monday-Friday, 10am-6pm.

RM is thrilled to present a special live musical performance by New York-based duo Frenchy and the Punk. The Euro-American musical duo joyfully blends foot-stompin' folk, cabaret, world music, French chanson and '80's punk, with steampunk flair, vaudeville charm, pixie spirit and sophisticated grace.

Attendees will experience a night of dancing with hors d'oeuvres, artists talks, presentations, demonstrations, and a cash bar.

Steampunk Soirée is a kick-off party for RM's Dickens and Steampunk 2012 initiative—an arts and humanities collaboration with UMass Lowell. Gears are grinding and flywheels will whirl as we use the literature, history, aesthetics and philosophy of the Victorian tradition as a topic of discussion, examination, interpretation and inspiration for Dickens and Steampunk.

Don't miss the party extravaganza at RM! Come in your best Steampunk costume!

Ticket price: $15 per person, $25 per couple. Tickets can be purchased at the door.

Tickets can also be purchased in advance by clicking on: Eventbrite!
