It was the beginning of the end: The black eye make-up, the exaggerated spectacle and the jittery images. The Milan film museum takes you back to the origins of the moving picture and offers nostalgics all they need to know about the camera technology used in the era of Chaplin. As projectors were invented, digital beta, bluescreens and scenes of armageddon recreated on computers were totally unimaginable. Back then, people were shocked by stunts, that would evoke a simple shrug of the shoulders in today's world of film.

The film museum follows the progression of cinema throughout the decades, and showcases the exponents of the Lumiére amongst stage settings, posters, documents and gimmicks from the world of film. And for those that summon a real passion for the film of yesteryear can visit the small cinema in the museum and watch a classic in full length.
