The Early Visual Media Lab (CICANT) of Lusófona University and the research project Curiositas (CICANT; IHA) has collaborated with the Cinema Museum of Melgaço — Jean-Loup Passek for the digitization and study of its collection of optical views.

Last December, some team members from the Curiositas project visited the Panorama Museum in Salzburg and had the unique opportunity to see all the 136 Cosmoramas by Hubert Sattler and Johann Michael Sattler stored at the archive of the Salzburg Museum.

Curiositas has recently welcomed two new fellows. The first two PhD scholarships of Curiositas were awarded to Ana David Mendes and to Celia Cuenca.

In December, some researchers from our team will travel to Salzburg to visit the Panorama Museum and see the Cosmoramas by Johann Michael Sattler (1786-1847) and Hubert Sattler (1817-1904).
