    The exhibition was perfect! Absolutely inspired curation and what a venue! Thank you so much for organising it, I had a fantastic time and will definitely be going back a couple of times before it closes.
    I've been posting about it on my blog too:

    Thank you, Kruse, for your generous and kind remarks. On behalf of the artists, I believe that I can say that your comments ring in our hearts.

    We're so very happy to hear that you'll be going back to see the show.

    Best Regards, Art Donovan

    This is such a wonderful thing you have done for Steampunk Artisans everywhere, Art. You have single-handedly validated this artform in a such a dignified way that we could have only dreamed about.

    Thank you!

    I was in Oxford on a day of sight seeing and happened to walk past the sign on the outside gate. I LOVED the exhibit. Steampunk is something I've followed casually online for a while but haven't invested much effort in. It was very cool to see some pieces in person. The museum's "real world" additions to the collection (pieces such as Charles Babbage's Difference Engine) really added some contrast to the show. Thanks for putting it together!

    How wonderful. I'm an aspiring (can we say "emerging?") Steampunk novelist in the town of Southampton searching desperately for the right literary agent. I just saw your article in the paper and I'm glad to see Steampunk gaining ground the way it has recently. Few people know how far back this style goes, in art, literature and subcultures.

    I'm in hopes that such exposure to this culture will help novelists like myself in the future. :)

    Thanks for shining a light on this intricate and elegant form!
