Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with optical toys from the 1800s, including magic lanterns, stereoscopes, zoetropes, and flipbooks. 

Seeing Things argues that virtual media was invented earlier than you might think: during the 1800s, when optical technologies used glass and paper to make moving, projected, and 3D images. Come learn about some of these strange and wonderful devices that taught people how to see things that are not there and fueled the Victorian literary imagination.
