Pollock's Toy Museum London

I visited the Pollock's Toy Museum in London recently and managed to capture a few interesting patterns and pieces of artwork amongst the old toys.

 

 The above work reminded me of some of Dali's work I had seen in Paris:

The following are discs from a "Zeotrope".

A zoetrope is a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures. The term zoetrope is from the Greek

Greek language

Greek , an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages, is the language of the Greeks. Native to the southern Balkans, it has the longest documented history of any Indo-European language, spanning 34 centuries of written records...

 words ζωή - zoe, "life" and τρόπος - tropos, "turn". It may be taken to mean "wheel of life".
