Several exhibitions have been staged worldwide,<ref name="amrp-exhib" /> leading to the main "Antikythera shipwreck" exhibition at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. {{as of|2012}}, the Antikythera mechanism was displayed as part of a temporary exhibition about the Antikythera shipwreck,<ref name="amrp-12" /> accompanied by reconstructions made by [[Ioannis Theofanidis]], [[Derek J. de Solla Price|Derek de Solla Price]], Michael Wright, the Thessaloniki University and Dionysios Kriaris. Other reconstructions are on display at the [[American Computer Museum]] in [[Bozeman, Montana]], at the [[Children's Museum of Manhattan]] in New York, at Astronomisch-Physikalisches Kabinett in [[Kassel]], Germany, at the [[Museum of Ancient Greek Technology|Archimedes Museum]] in Olympia, Greece,<ref name="Auto82-48" /> at the [[Museum of Ancient Greek Technology|Kotsanas Museum of Ancient Greek Technology]] in Athens<ref>{{Cite web |last=Athens |first=Why |title=Kotsanas Museum of Ancient Greek Technology |url=https://whyathens.com/events/hi-tech-inventions-ancient-greeks/ |access-date=2025-02-05 |website=Why Athens |language=en-GB}}</ref> and at the [[Musée des Arts et Métiers]] in [[Paris]].

The National Geographic documentary series ''[[Naked Science]]'' dedicated an episode to the Antikythera Mechanism entitled "Star Clock BC" that aired on 20 January 2011.<ref name=imdb/> A documentary, ''The World's First Computer'', was produced in 2012 by the Antikythera mechanism researcher and film-maker Tony Freeth.<ref name=amrp-movie/> In 2012, [[BBC Four]] aired ''The Two-Thousand-Year-Old Computer'';<ref name=amrp-movie-bbc/> it was also aired on 3 April 2013 in the United States on ''[[Nova (American TV series)|NOVA]]'', the [[PBS]] science series, under the name ''Ancient Computer''.<ref name=amrp-movie-nova/> It documents the discovery and 2005 investigation of the mechanism by the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project.

A functioning [[Lego]] reconstruction of the Antikythera mechanism was built in 2010 by hobbyist Andy Carol, and featured in a short film produced by Small Mammal in 2011.<ref name=pavlus/>

On 17 May 2017, [[Google]] marked the 115th anniversary of the discovery with a [[Google Doodle]].<ref name="Auto82-49"/><ref name="Auto82-50"/>

The YouTube channel Clickspring documents the creation of an Antikythera mechanism replica using the tools, techniques of machining and metallurgy, and materials that would have been available in ancient Greece,<ref name="Auto82-51"/> along with investigations into the possible technologies of the era.<ref name="Auto82-52"/>

The film ''[[Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny]]'' (2023) features a plot around a fictionalized version of the mechanism (also referred to as Archimedes' Dial, the titular Dial of Destiny).<ref name="Auto82-53"/> In the film, the device was built by [[Archimedes]] as a [[Time travel|temporal mapping system]], and sought by a former Nazi scientist as a way to detect time portals in order to travel back in time and help Germany win World War II. A major plot point revolves around the fact that the device did not take [[Continental drift]] into account as the theory was unknown in Archimedes' time.<ref>{{Cite web

On 8 February 2024, a 10X scale replica of the mechanism was built, installed, and inaugurated at the [[University of Sonora]] in [[Hermosillo]], [[Sonora]], [[Mexico]].<ref name="Auto82-54"/><ref name="Auto82-55"/> With the name of Monumental Antikythera Mechanism for Hermosillo (MAMH), Dr. Alfonso performed the inauguration. Also attending were Durazo Montaño, Governor of Sonora and Dr. Maria Rita Plancarte Martinez, Chancellor of the Universidad de Sonora, the Ambassador of Greece, Nikolaos Koutrokois, and a delegation from the Embassy.<ref name="Auto82-56"/>
