Fire Organ, Antiquitech, 1878 World’s Fair, Statues, Alchemy, Pyrophone, Inheriting Instruments

Welcome back.
Today we will take a brief look at two subjects of the 1878 World’s Fair in Paris, France.

First we will discuss the statues on display. Unlike many World’s Fair buildings, which were designed merely to last the length of the Fair, the Statues of the 1878 World’s Fair in Paris have withstood the tests of time, and a large portion of them still exist today (including The Statue Of Liberty).

Second, we will discuss a unique antiquitech musical instrument which was displayed at the 1878 Fair; that is the Pyrophone; or Fire Organ.

This device, which uses gas powered fire, to create unique and ominous sounds through glass tubes, much akin to the organ, was first invented in the 1870’s by Kastner.

Today we will look briefly at some old photographs from the 1878 Exhibition, modern photographs of the statues, and discuss the Fire Organ in a little more detail.

Thanks for being here! I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments down below.
