Optical
Kaleidoscope is a unique and wonderful way to present film material.
Using mirrors and back-projection, photographic images are projected onto
numerous small screens which make up a 70 metre diameter Optical Globe. By
adapting the principle of a child’s kaleidoscope the late Czech visual
effects genius Dr Raduz Èinèera produced a special film for Karlstejn’s
Optical Globe to show the treasures of Czech history. Here visitors see,
among other outstanding treasures, the Bohemian Crown Jewels, the rare
monstrance from Loreta and the exquisite work of Master Theodoric in the
Holy Rood Chapel inside Karlstejn’s castle. The Wax Museum at
Melantrichova Street, Prague also have Optical Globe Kaleidoscopic Cinema.
