The Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art’s exhibition Smaller Worlds, on view until 15 January 2023 explores contemporary approaches to the genre of diorama, which creates the illusion of reality in a delimited space.

Is it a spectacle, a scientific illustration, a children’s toy or a therapeutic tool? Originally conceived as a sophisticated, painterly light show at the interface of art and entertainment, dioramas have been a favourite visual aid in natural history museums since the early 20th century.
