A selfie at a restaurant, a video of your dance performance, going to the cinema with sound and smell effects: fun! But how about travelling back in time 150 years to learn about the earliest techniques in (moving) images? I bet you can be just as creative as the children of the 19th and early 20th centuries!
Explore the walk-in studio tables:
- Make it move – create a “wonder wheel” (thaumatrope) or draw a flip book.
- Camera obscura – all you need is some cardboard, silver paper and tape to understand how a camera works.
- Magic lantern – come up with a mini story, draw it on a transparent sheet, and project your artwork!
- Photo editing avant la lettre – forget Photoshop and use scissors, glue and paint to edit old photos.
- Smile for the camera! – make an accessory or a full outfit and step in front of the green screen. It will look like you’re standing in a Belle Époque interior!
- Sound and light – the first films had no sound. Here, you can choose instruments and objects to create music in sync with the images.
Performance
Be enchanted by dazzling avant-garde dance on the big screen, accompanied live by a musician playing along with what you see.
For the little ones
At the crèche café, children can play and read freely.
Don’t miss
Take a look at the renovated 19th- and 20th-century decorative arts galleries, and let the Erfgoedapp guide you on a playful tour.
