📸Daguerre invented photography after creating dioramas

Step inside Bry-sur-Marne's modest church to witness the world's last surviving Diorama: a 32-square-meter illusion by Louis Daguerre that transforms from day to night before your eyes. The photography pioneer painted this mind-bending canvas in 1842, creating a Gothic cathedral where none exists through the magic of shifting light.
