Magic Lanterns: A Journey to the Heart of Stories
Before cinema and modern screens, there was a whole universe of animated images and optical shows. The magic lantern, which has its origins in shadow play, allowed images reproduced on glass plates to be projected onto walls. Popularized in the 19th century, its many uses—scientific, educational, and entertaining—made it both a practical and entertaining object.
The museum "A Possen" invites you to rediscover these forgotten treasures as part of its temporary exhibition "Magic Lanterns: A Journey to the Heart of Stories." Bearing witness to a time when technology and art came together to amaze, these objects tell the story of a visual spectacle that preceded modern cinema.
