Automatons At The San Jose Living Historical Museum
By Scott Garcia

My family and I recently visited the San Jose Living Historical Museum.
We saw a monkey in a glass enclosure that was playing a fiddle. We were
fascinated by it. Can you forward any information or history on these
types of creations? The curator told us that the monkey head and hands
were real.  Although they did not have much more info. on the piece.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,
Scott Garcia
