Laterna Magica: A Journey to the Heart of Stories
- exhibition
- museum
Show & CultureShow & CultureBefore cinema and modern screens, there existed a whole world of animated images and optical shows. The magic lantern, which has its origins in shadow play, allowed images reproduced on glass plates to be projected onto walls. Popularised in the 19th century, its many scientific, educational, or playful uses made it a practical and entertaining object. The A Possen museum invites you to rediscover these forgotten treasures in its temporary exhibition "Laterna Magica: A Journey to 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.
