Vilhelm Pacht

[1] Beginning in 1861, he also attended classes at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts; passing his final exam in 1866.

Pacht left the company in 1885 and was replaced by the drawing teacher, Giovannino von Huth [da].

That same year, Pacht started the "Skandinavisk Panoptikon", a combination wax museum and cabinet of curiosities.

[1] In 1896, he presented the first moving pictures in Denmark in a wooden structure called the "Panorama" at the square in front of Copenhagen City Hall.

His building and equipment were lost to a suspicious fire, but he soon re-established his shows (renamed the "Kineoptikon") at his Panoptikon.
