Permanent Exhibition
Wunderkammer
In the Wunderkammer, the history of film is brought to life through various interactive showcases, starting from the Chinese shadow play to the cinematograph of the Lumière brothers.
Through the working mechanisms in each display case, you will discover how important inventions and objects are put together and were applied. Not only magical to watch, but also ideal for learning to understand all the principles that come together in film. A guide with explanations is available at the counter.
Take a look at our object collection.

The Fluid Computer
Kunstenaar Floris Vanhoof wil stilstaan bij onze collectie media-archeologische objecten in de Wunderkammer. In deze tentoonstelling vult hij de vitrines van de permanente collectie aan met zijn eigen fossielenverzameling, om zo de prehistorie van cinema in perspectief te zien met onze eigen prehistorie.

One hundred years ago, Jacques Ledoux was born. This autumn, we pay tribute to the man who shaped CINEMATEK to become both an institution that cannot be ignored at the international level and also a place of exchange where, every day, the adventure of the 7th art is carefully exhibited in the widest possible spectrum.
