A small three-dimensional model or display of a scene, often in a museum, showing historical events or natural landscapes with miniature figures.
From French, combining 'dia-' (through/across) and Greek 'horama' (sight/view). The word was coined in the 1800s for the museum display technique.
Before movies and video games, dioramas were the ultimate immersive experience—people would stand in amazement at these tiny worlds that made you feel like you were there!
