1 Jun 2019 - 2 Jun 2019

The Camera Obscura has long been a thing of beauty and fascination. Used by artists from as long ago as the 16th century, the Camera obscura is sometimes referred to as a pinhole image and was the precursor to the camera as we know it.

Held over two days in the Art Rooms at King's College, Cambridge, The King’s Camera Obscura was projected onto the Art Room wall. Visitors could sit and watch as people moved around the grounds of the College and trip the light fantastic view of the world famous King's College Chapel.
