Diorama \Di`o*ra"ma\, n. [Gr. ? to see through; ? = dia` through + ? to see; cf. ? that which is seen, a sight: cf. F. diorama. Cf. Panorama.]
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.
A building used for such an exhibition.

The word diorama can either refer to a 19th-century mobile theatre device, or, in modern usage, a three-dimensional full-size or miniature model, sometimes enclosed in a glass showcase for a museum. Dioramas are often built by hobbyists as part of related hobbies such as military vehicle modeling, miniature figure modeling, or aircraft modeling.
Diorama is the fourth studio album by Australian alternative rock band by Silverchair. Released on 31 March 2002 by Atlantic/Eleven. It won the 2002 ARIA Music Award for Best Group and Best Rock Album. The album was co-produced by Daniel Johns and David Bottrill. While Bottrill had worked on albums for a variety of other bands, Diorama marked the first production credit for lead singer Johns.
Johns wrote most of the album at the piano instead of his usual guitar, while the band took a 12-month break following their previous studio album, Neon Ballroom. Silverchair worked with composer Van Dyke Parks on Diorama; the album contains numerous orchestral arrangements and power ballads, a change from the post-grunge music typical of their earlier work, but consistent with the band's previous orchestrations on Neon Ballroom. The album's title refers to "a world within a world". Five singles were released: " The Greatest View", " Without You", " Luv Your Life", " Across the Night" and "After All These Years". All except "After All These Years", a promotional single, appeared on the Australian singles chart.
Diorama was successful in the charts but was not as well received by critics as the band's earlier albums. It reached number one on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Albums Chart and received a rating of 71 (out of 100) on review aggregator Metacritic. It was certified triple-platinum by ARIA, selling in excess of 210,000 copies, and won five ARIA Awards in 2002. Diorama was nominated for Highest Selling Album in 2003, and three songs from the album were nominated for awards over the two years.
Diorama is a German electropop band. The name of the band is a metaphor which represents their notion of music as an artistic form of expression.

Diorama is the first album by Japanese musician Kenshi Yonezu, which was released on May 16, 2012. It was the first studio album released under his real name, and the first to use his own voice as opposed to his Vocaloid albums released under the name Hachi. The album was one of the top independent releases in Japan in 2012, and was one of the winners of the 5th CD Shop Awards.
The Diorama is a miniature world in Efteling amusement park in the Netherlands. The highly detailed mountainous world, or Diorama, was designed by Anton Pieck and opened its doors in 1971, in honour of the 20th birthday of Efteling.
The visitors can walk around a 60 metre long show-case with mountains, little villages, castles and churches, moving trains and automobiles and flowing water. Most of the Diorama is set in day-time, but a smaller part is devoted to night-time
The landscape has been built entirely out of styrofoam. The Diorama is the first attraction with contributions of Ton van de Ven, the creative director of Efteling at that time. He made some sketches for it, but they weren’t used for the Diorama; years later they were used for one of the scenes in the dark-ride Dreamflight.
A Diorama game perspective can apply to games in which the entire playfield exists in a non-virtual 3D space. These dioramas data back all the way from ancient mans experimentation with automata, but saw their first major emergence in the public sphere during the late 19th century thanks to the emergence of Vending machines, Coin operated Testers / Spirometers, Plunger / Catcher type games and shooting galleries.
Dioramas can vary in the amount of detail they contain. Early coin-operated dioramas consisted of simple Meter gauges (such as the Mills 'Owl Lifter'), whereas other Fortune Telling machines attempted to bridge the uncanny valley gap. Probably the most creative though were the dioramas that utilized pins nailed onto a wooden board and sling-shot ball mechanics to give players a feeling of control but also a degree of unpredictability in the outcome (unlike Mechanical Testers which had largely predictable outcomes). The most popular of these were Pickwick, Parlor Table Bagatelle, Log Cabin, and Clown Catchers. Dioramas are not to be confused with motion simulators which also became popular around the same time.
