Show & CultureShow & CultureBefore cinema and modern screens, there existed 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 scientific, educational, and entertaining uses made it both a practical and amusing object. The museum "A Possen" invites you to rediscover these forgotten treasures with the temporary exhibition "Magic Lanterns: A Journey to the Heart of Stories." Witnesses of a time when technology and art merged to amaze, these objects recount the history of a visual show that preceded modern cinema.
