THE MAGIC LANTERN! From Victorian Vision To Modern Media The UCLA Arts Library presents an exhibition of magic lanterns, lantern slides, and other related objects from the extensive private collection of UCLA Design | Media Arts Professor Erkki Huhtamo. The magic lantern played an important role in visual education and entertainment for centuries. It was introduced soon after the mid-seventeenth century and became a staple of the curiosity cabinets of the savants. It was brought to the ‘common people’ by itinerant showmen. In the nineteenth century the magic lantern show developed into a specialized profession and big business. Countless magic lanterns and slides were produced both for professional and domestic use. This exhibition demonstrates how the magic lantern show, so typical of the Victorian era, opened ways for modern society and culture as well. Open during the Arts Library’s operating hours. Free Admittance. UCLA Arts Library, 1400 Public Affairs Building, tel. 310 206 5425.
