The Filmmuseum Düsseldorf, located in the Old Town of North Rhine Westphalia's state capital, was founded in 1993. This interactive museum gives an exciting access to the world of filmmaking, spanning from its earliest beginnings to the present day.

Its permanent exhibition (approx. 2,200m²) conveys a lively history of film and presents a selection of rare vintage film technology. Camera Obscuras and Laterna Magicas from the 1880s, film projectors and cameras from the early 20th century to the present day, set models, state designs, props and costumes can be marvelled at. The Shadow Puppetry Collection is truly exceptional, containing about 500 figurines from the 13th to the 19th century and other documents on the history of this art. A replica film studio and a special effects section give insight into actual movie making.

The visitor will also witness production processes and the impact of film on western culture and everybody's life. Aside from its permanent collection, the Filmmuseum develops and presents temporary exhibitions dealing with film and the media.
