Description

Shadow Voyages: Visual Entertainment Before Cinema unveils the magical visual illusions and projected media that led to the creation of cinema.

Early storytelling devices used moving images to amuse, educate, and spark viewers’ imaginations. From the timeless delight of shadow puppetry to the advent of projected film, this whimsical exhibition explores the art, history, and science of moving pictures.

An incredible array of inventive artifacts and hands-on interactives invites visitors to experience the mysterious marvels that dazzled early audiences, drove scientific innovations, and eventually led to the spectacular movies of the modern age.
