What's the difference between diorama and mobile?

Diorama


Definition:

  • (n.) A mode of scenic representation, invented by Daguerre and Bouton, in which a painting is seen from a distance through a large opening. By a combination of transparent and opaque painting, and of transmitted and reflected light, and by contrivances such as screens and shutters, much diversity of scenic effect is produced.
  • (n.) A building used for such an exhibition.
