An exhibit like this was also a part of the National Constitution Center's "American Spirits: The rise and fall of prohibition" exhibition. Of course this component looked at the passage of a constitutional amendment as opposed to a law, but it may fit what you want as they definitely used a Rube-Goldberg design.  You can learn a little more about the exhibition at the following website:

Subject: How a Bill Becomes Law exhibit?

Does anyone remember seeing a ball fall or Rube Goldberg-type exhibit illustrating how a bill becomes law? I remember seeing it in an exhibit hall at a conference, but can't for the life of me remember where or when! Any clues you might share would be great, as I have googled, searched flickr and our own photo library and can't think of any other searches to do. Hoping the hive-mind has something to offer! We area just trying to help out a small organization trying to something for kids on the constitution and the three branches of government. I remember this being nicely done. 

Laura Bassett from The Portico Group was nice enough to send me this link: http://www.mcilhinney.com/chuck/tour/tour5.htm
This isn't it. What I saw was in a glass case, but no reader rail and much more colorful, kid-friendly graphic look.

Thanks for your help! Kathy
