Here are some pictures of kids enjoying some of the many interactive exhibits we have throughout the museum, what a fun place!

The Dubai International Film Festival is in full swing and we have hosted a visit to the Museum by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science also know as the “Oscars” people and they really enjoyed their time thanks to Mandy guided tour.
We have also organised tours for the Festival delegates and they are getting more and more popular.
We are present at Diff Dubai Film Market, Mr. Juma the Diff chairman very kindly arrange this for us and we are very thankful.
This year is the tenth anniversary of DIFF and we are very pleased to be official partners.
The Festival opens on the 6th of December and we are looking forward to showing the delegates round our museum where they’ll discover the prehistory of cinema.
Here is our super rare “Indian” Mutoscope.
Very heavy, well over 100 kgs, cast iron viewer all original and in working condition.
This one is protected in its custom made display cabinet but we are pleased to say the we do have other Mutoscopes arrange around the museum that our visitors can use!
A very important new acquisition, a floor standing Zograscope made in America around 1800. Probably a unique piece we do not know of another example in the world, neither in museums nor private collections.
