In their own words "you'll find information about one of the most important inventions of our history: the precursor of the film- and slide projector, of television, video and multimedia. For centuries it was a source of pleasure for young and old, poor and rich. A source of knowledge too for students and scientists. A device with a name sounding mysterious and romantic. The Laterna Magica, the magic lantern."
