Magic Lanterns: a voyage to the heart of stories
- exhibition
- museum
Show & CultureShow & CultureBefore cinema and modern screens, there existed a world of animated images and optical shows. The magic lantern, originating from shadow play, allowed images painted on glass plates to be projected onto walls. Popularized in the 19th century, the lantern’s scientific, educational or playful uses made it both a practical object and an entertaining one. The museum "A Possen" invites you to (re)discover these forgotten treasures as part of its temporary exhibition "Magic Lanterns: a voyage to the heart of stories". As testimonies of a time when technology and art were intertwined to amaze, these items recount the history of a visual spectacle that preceded modern cinema.
