Stunning video with great quality!! This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

Definitely made by aliens😅😅😅

The guy who made the mechanical parts had name Merlin. No wonder this looks like magic to me even knowing it’s not. 🤪

What is the conversion between Franks and dollars because 5,000 for that sounds really really cheap

The glass rods are beautiful and look so much like water

This made me cry. I was overwhelmed by it's beauty, craftsmanship, grace, and how incredibly perfect it still is after 250 years. It's literally older than my country! What a marvelous work of sheer genius. I now know who I'd want to go back in time and have dinner with...the man who created this exquisite silver swan. Thank you too all the people who work tirelessly to keep it in perfect condition. ❤🦢

This is the best video and look at this piece of work that I have been able to find basically anywhere on the internet. Beautiful video.

I love the part where it shows what other people (some famous) thought about it when they first set their eyes upon it! Mark Twain and I have both witnessed this beautiful masterpiece in action!

Busy bar and Pit Road are just two paintings that I remember vividly. As a sheltered southerner, I never understood the north of England until these paintings came into view. I felt nostalgic for something I never experienced. Maybe the back lanes, pitmen, and communities remind me of what's been destroyed by deindustrialisation. There was never any talk of 'replacement' jobs when trying to keep these industries alive by artificial means. 60 years of disastrous policies is what we have instead. Cornish captured the soul of these communities in a visceral way for those who were too young to understand and too far away to suffer their consequences.

I'm going to name my child Merlin

Sorry that I missed this

At 9:40 a very clean sample shows up

Londra grazie Luca costigliolo

How wonderful to see the care being taken of this magnificent piece of work. The Silver Swan is a treasure!

1773, wow! Just wow! Beautiful!🥲

Magnificent!

Anyone else imagine some bloody American with a can of WD40 let loose on this???

I’m speechless just amazing thank you for sharing❤❤🦢🎶

I'd like to find anywhere this live traklist or at least the background track's name.....too good: JB, as well as Nicolas, are king midas of electro pop.

Hermoso tan hermoso! nunca había visto algo así ❤

THIS IS Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's an angel

My brain cannot comprehend how this works! Pure genius

Wonderful painting.

Swan eat fish ?

Harika. Masallardan fırlamış bir kuğu. Muhteşem bir mekanizma ve sonuç ortada. 👏👏👏

A mechanic wonder.

I saw it moving as a child in the early 1970s. A moment in my life I will never forget. I was about 8 or 9. it brings back such lovely memories of the day and my love for swans was born-.

I would be terrified to touch that.

This is just the most amazing thing. Can you imagine making all those pieces by hand?

"Cool rocking chair, Mr. Franklin. Check THIS out...."

Remarkable!👌

How cool is that?

Idk why but every time I see video of this masterpiece, I tear up a bit. Is lovely to see something that had so much love and pure thought out into such a marvel.

So beautiful

The Silver Swan is one of the loveliest and greatest treasures in the world. It must be cherished and appreciated, always. If it cannot continue to function due to aging in its mechanism, which is a definite possibility, and because of what was done to it 50 or so years ago, then let it rest...please. Keep it, guard it. Its value is beyond price....worth so much more to the world than any garbage generated by any computer. It was made by hand with genius and love. Hang on to that. It is the only one of its kind. It is no less than the great Mona Lisa. ❤

3d scan all the parts and 3d print a copy and make the original movements, nowadays you can also print metal

It explains how the hologram works. Our body is the swan. The machine the controls its actions is our brain. The music is our vibration. Every possibilities exist. We just beed to tune it to it. Please wake up 🥹

The most beautiful I’ve ever seen!!! ✨🍃💜

Niesamowite 😮

Что то есть пугающее в этом лебеде, мотание головой некрасивое, но конечно это произведение искусства!

Amazing and in our doorstep

I consider it a privilege to have listened to your discussion on this exquisite piece of art, it's history, thoughts on past, present and future conservation. Thank you very much for broadcasting this fascinating conversation that most of us would be eternally unaware of as it takes place behind the scenes.

Everytime I build something there's so much more to do.i love building

what happens with the little fish after the swan swallows it?

I seen the swan as a child in the 1960's /70's, quite a few times since I didn't live too far from the museum. I was totally mesmerised by the Silver Swan. Really has to be seen with the hand eye 👍 😊

Hermosísimo autómata increíble la genialidad de su constructor

So cool
