High Definition Video. The silver swan at Bowes Museum has recently been restored. It is operated only once per day, 30 seconds worth of bliss.

    Definitely not real! It would make the mechanism a bit rusty I think. It's actually rotating rods of twisted glass. It looks even better in real life, well worth a visit if you're in the area.

    I saw this on a History Channel program many years ago and I never forgot it. It has to be simply one of the most beautiful machines I've ever seen. It literally puts a lump in my throat to watch.

    Thank you for letting me see my swan again; I always loved it as a child.
