Magic Lantern Show is a Dubbo Regional Museum curated exhibition that will explore the social impact of the medium of photography and film on Dubbo and the Central West. 

The museum collection includes an array of photographs, glass cinema slides, cameras and film, Magic Lantern will explore the significance of these items and the role they played in developing our sense of identity and community as well as the connections they helped forge between Dubbo and the wider world.

The exhibition aims to revisit the excitement and wonder of emerging innovations in photographic technology from the late 1800s to the present day and aims to recreate this sense of wonder and engagement for contemporary audiences.
