Donation boxes in art galleries and museums are not a new idea but trying to inventively encourage people to give their money is a fairly new development. With the opening of the newly restored Royal Pump Rooms, Leamington Spa came a new commission, funded by Warwick District Council and West Midlands Arts. Keith Newstead is a respected Automata maker and has previously produced donation boxes for public buildings. His work has featured in the Craftspace Touring exhibition Devious Devices, shown in 1999.

The Automata, entitled Rejuvenation, shows two nurses controlling the water flow into a bath over a balding sickly patient. When the patient reappears from underneath the water he has been miraculously rejuvenated and has a full head of hair, muscles and a tan. This transformation is being closely watched by Boss, the Pump Room Cat, who was adopted by the physiotherapy staff at the Royal Pump Rooms. The architecture of the Pump Rooms has been echoed through the design of the room shown within the automata and the casing that houses it.
