Talk:Diorama

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nowhere is Carl Akeley or the Milwaukee Public Museum mentioned in this article. Carl Akeley completed the first habitat diorama in the world in 1890 (the Muskrat Colony), which is still on display at the Milwaukee Public Museum. Primvspilvs 13:28, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Needs a picture of a diorama, especially one using false perspective.

Needs dates of creation, location, dimensions, etc. and present location of Calif State Diorama. This was truely spectacular, representing everything from the Pacific Coast to the Sierra Mountains.

A list of dioramas around the world would be nice also.

I don't think Daguerre's dioramas rotated. As I understand it, the illusion of three-dimensional space was created by shining light through layers of colored, transparent screens, which were viewed through a hole or "tunnel" of black cloth. Unlike panoramas, the images themselves were flat instead of curved.

Accoring to this website (http://www.midleykent.fsnet.co.uk/diorama/Diorama_Wood_1_1.htm ) the paintings were tilted back and forth, and the platform where the audience sat was "a turning saloon as at the Regent's Park". So the Dioramas didn't rotate, but the audience did. Ogg 19:29, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
