⁉️ What the Friday is that?
Every Fortnight, we will be introducing you to an important artifact that is in our collection, here at The Castle Heritage Centre.
➡️ This week’s artifact is a Magic Lantern. The magic lantern, also known by its Latin name lanterna magica, was an early type of image projector that used pictures—paintings, prints, or photographs—on transparent plates (usually made of glass), one or more lenses, and a light source.
Did you guess correctly? Well done, we had some brilliant answers, some correct, some close and some, well, just a bit random, but it made us giggle!
We are temporarily finished showing our treasures and finds in our archives as we prepare for the season ahead. We look forward to showing you more in Autumn 2025.
Did you know we hold an inspirational collection of documents and artifacts that play an important role in Bude, Stratton and the surrounding parishes rich heritage. You can also visit us seven days a week as we are open from 10am every day (including bank holidays).
