Show & CultureShow & CultureBefore cinema and modern screens, there was a whole world of animated images and optical shows. The magic lantern, which originated from shadow plays, made it possible to project images reproduced on glass plates onto walls. Popularized in the 19th century, its many scientific, educational, or playful uses made it both a practical and entertaining object. Musée « A Possen » invites you to rediscover these forgotten treasures with the temporary exhibition "Magic Lanterns: A Journey to the Heart of Stories." These objects, witnesses of a time when technology and art met to fascinate, tell the story of a visual spectacle that preceded modern cinema.
