About Portals: The Machine of Worlds by Ocubo
Portals: The Machine of Worlds is a visual and sensory journey through imaginary worlds.
Led by a mysterious hot air balloon and incorporating fantastical imagery from books in the Library’s collections by writers including H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, we are invited to enter universes of science, illusion and discovery.
Each portal reveals a new reality, from the discovery of stars and the invention of telescopes to spaceships, unknown planets and extraordinary creatures.
