Magic Lanterns: a journey to the heart of stories
- exhibition
- museum
Before cinema and modern screens, there was a whole world of moving images and optical shows. The magic lantern, which originated from shadow play, made it possible to project onto walls images reproduced on glass plates. Popularized in the 19th century, its many uses—scientific, educational, and entertaining—made it both a practical and amusing object. These objects are witnesses of a time when technology and art came together to amaze, telling the story of a visual spectacle that preceded modern cinema.
