'Monkeys on my mind' automaton by Jim Kransberger

Monkeys on my mind is an automaton by Jim Kransberger which takes a look at what was on Charles Darwin's mind (beyond pigeons). Charming!

From the artist's web site:

The hat slowly tips up and is followed by a monkey rising from within, peaking out at the viewer. As the five crank cycle is continued the monkey recedes, then the hat closes back down on Darwin’s head.
