Magic Lanterns: A Journey into the Heart of Stories
- exhibition
- museum
Before cinema and modern screens, there was a whole world of animated images and optical shows. The magic lantern, originating from shadow plays, allowed images reproduced on glass slides to be projected onto walls. Popularized in the 19th century, its many scientific, educational, and entertaining uses made it both a practical and enjoyable object. The « A Possen » museum invites you to rediscover these forgotten treasures as part of their temporary exhibition "Magic Lanterns: A Journey into the Heart of Stories". Witnesses of a time when technology and art came together to amaze, these objects tell the story of a visual spectacle that preceded modern cinema.
