Lonely Planet review for Fotoplastikon

Photo and film buffs will be intrigued by the Fotoplastikon, a late-19th-century forerunner of the cinema. It’s reputedly the last working example of its kind in Europe, and consists of a large rotating drum set with individual eyepieces displaying stereoscopic 3D photos, some of them in colour. Each session consists of 48 pictures and takes about 20 minutes.
