(El Paso) – Climb aboard the Crosstown Express for an amazing journey to Robot City, when Robots: The Interactive Exhibition opens at Lynx Exhibits January 16, 2009.
Based on the 2005 20th Century Fox animated feature, Robots depicts a world populated entirely by mechanical beings, including genius inventor Rodney Copperbottom and his friends, the Rusties, who seek to make the world a better place through innovation and determination. This multi-media exhibit captures the wit, imagination and excitement of the film and translates into an immersive, educational experience for the whole family. From futuristic displays to real-life robotics, visitors will come away thinking about robots in a whole new way.
