Holography Magic

Lux Aeterna Laser Theater at Holography Magic


The courtyard houses a unique laser theater Lux Aeterna. The experience follows the laws of theater but nothing is like a traditional performance: the laser is the actor, lenses and mirrors are the scenery and the planetarium is the stage. Light merges with sound to form a joint artistic form. It’s impossible to speak about what Lux Aeterna is like. You’ve got to experience it.



Magic of Light Exhibition will capture everyone’s imagination because watching complex physical qualities in a simple form is a true miracle. But then again, light itself is a phenomenon. It’s the basis of life, - S. Stafeev, exhibition’s curator.


Magic of Light is an exciting journey into miraculous qualities of light. It opens the doors to the world of optical illusions and modern lighting solutions.


The venue for the exhibition wasn’t chosen by accident. It’s located in the Eliseev House, which in the middle of the XX century used to house the State Optical Institute headed by Dr. Sergei Vavilov, the founder of the optical physics scientific school. It was also the place of work for Dr. Yuri Denisjuk, one of the founders of optical holography and ITMO University graduate.
Magic of Light exhibition allows visitors to travel in space and time and to witness the evolution of scientific thought in optical technologies and light mechanisms, to touch historic artifacts and get a glimpse of the future.

Developed in the Soviet Union in the second half of the 20th century by Dr. Petrovsky, Abbe Catalogue is a famous collection of 144 samples of optical glasses of different formulations and brands ranging from the lightest kroons to superheavy flints. There’s no other collection in the world to match it in the size of glass blocks and range.
