| This is the first example of a 'Camera Obscura' that I have seen in
person, and it was really an interesting experience. This is one
of the commissioned pieces of art at the museum with which visitors are
allowed to interact. To understand what this is, click on the
first thumbnail which is a copy of the placard outside the
exhibit. The second image is an external view of the exhibit, the
third image is what I could get of the top showing where the aperture
is. The aperture on this exhibit looks to be around an inch in
diameter. The final image is a 30 second time exposure inside
showing the detail that is accomplished by this phenomenon. The
couple sitting on the bench are friends, Robert and Barbara Gosney, with
whom we made the trip to Raleigh to visit the park associated with the
museum. To learn more about the Camera Obscura, click on this
