In the enchanting museum on the prehistory of film, a world of shadow plays, folding perspectives and transparencies unfolds - elements that arouse curiosity and invite you to think outside the box. Here, visitors experience Laternae Magicae, kaleidoscopes and anamorphoses that document exciting developments from 1750 to 1930. In this place, no detail is "dusty". On the contrary: the interactive exhibition concept invites you to try out replicas yourself and experience first hand how the pictures learned to move. These lively stories make the visit a fascinating experience that stands out from conventional museums.
Over 1.000 objects tell the impressive story of how the film came about, while regularly changing exhibitions with thematically appropriate themes bring exciting diversity and dynamism to the museum. These unique insights unfold a universe of visual discoveries that awaits curious explorers in the heart of the Ruhr region.
The combination of historical flair and modern experience makes this museum an ideal place to experience the unique charm of the region and find plenty of inspiration. The architecture and the concept of the Camera Obscura remain in the memory and awaken the desire to discover new things and be enchanted by the magic of the unusual.
