A clever use of alligator clips

A simple but clever idea: alligator clips to hold the information labels for an exhibit about robotics. Some labels are suspended from wires, while in other cases the clips hold the labels upright. Love it.

Robots and Beyond is at the MIT Museum in Cambridge, MA. Be sure to also check out the museum’s Kinetic Sculptures and Holography exhibits. They’re both magical.
