Show & CultureShow & CultureBefore the cinema and modern screens, there was a whole world of animated images and optical shows. The magic lantern, originating from shadow plays, made it possible to project images reproduced on glass plates onto walls. Popularized in the 19th century, its many uses—scientific, educational, or entertaining—made it a practical yet amusing item. The “A Possen” museum invites you to rediscover these forgotten treasures through its temporary exhibition "Magic Lanterns: A Journey into the Heart of Stories." As witnesses to a time when technology and art fused to amaze, these objects tell the story of a visual spectacle that preceded modern cinema.
