The Velaslavasay Panorama, a nonprofit dedicated to the preservation of pre-cinematic popular culture, added a new exhibit to its West Adams gallery-slash-theater last week. "The Grand Moving Mirror of California is a 'moving panorama' modeled on the painted tours shown to prospective California-bound Easterners during the Gold Rush, and based on one script in particular from 1853 that was recently unearthed in Maine.
The two panoramas are part of The Velaslavasay's mission to bring interesting and odd cinematic and theatrical culture back to life. The space hosts events, lectures and shows along with their regular exhibits.
