The Portland Art Museum has just opened an entertaining new exhibit: "Paris 1900: City of Entertainment". It commemorates the World Fair held in Paris in 1900.
Before you go upstairs to the main exhibit halls, there's a small auditorium where you can watch a restoration of a color version of George Melies' 1902 film "A Trip to the Moon", regarded as the first science fiction movie. The Wikipedia entry is worth a read.
Here are a few stills taken as the film frames went slowly by.
