6:00 p.m. -6:30p.m.
30 minutes

​Join us for a magic slide show! Before there was Power Point, before there were carousel slide projectors, there were... magic lanterns.
Learn about this amazing analog technology that preceded the invention of photography and electricity, and see magic lantern original slides from the 19th century.
Please note that we will present digitized slides - a real magic lantern will not be used for the presentation. 
The program will take place in the reading room of the Osborne Collection (Lillian H. Smith, 4th floor).
Registration is not required - a drop-in program.
