Engelberg Magazin Nr. 25

Engelberg’s silver screen Mov iegoing has long been popu lar in Engelberg. In the old days, the f ilm reels wou ld sometimes tear and have to be stuck back together during a screening. These days, the cinema has state-of- the-ar t projec tors and sound equipment, but the auditorium with its comf y seats has re- mained as intimate and homey as ever. Engel- berg’s cinema shows the latest mov ie hits as well as Swiss premieres. To v iew the current pro- gramme, v isit www.kinoengelberg.ch.

This caref u lly curated exhibition asks where, how and why angels came into being. On display are around 100 objec ts dating back to 2000 BC f rom ancient Egypt, ancient Greece and the Ro- man Empire, including amu lets, cylinder sea ls, and coins. There are a lso numerous ar tworks and ar tefac ts f rom daily life that feature or refer- ence angels – f rom guardian angel pic tures and icons to inn signs and adver tising posters.
