Coming soon!

In the center of Europe a new museum is being created to explore the history of photography, moving pictures, mechanical music and recorded sound.

Exhibits will trace the development of photography from its earliest days, including how people enjoyed the media, to the first steps of moving pictures. Before inventions in the areas of moving pictures and sound intersected, there was a few decades of invention and creativity in the fields of phonographs and gramophones (Grammophon). Before recorded sound, there was also mechanical music, from early barrel organs, orchestrions, cylinder music boxes and then disc music boxes.

The variety in this palette of inventions is huge with items to suit all tastes & pocket books. Machines for rich people and machines for poor people.

The museum will also add context to the idea that "entertainment" began as a communal activity, and has evolved in many cases to an individual one. Particularly with the rise of computers & smartphones.

The museum will trace this 200 year, or so, history with ever changing exhibits.

Our philosophy is to create a confluence where by looking at innovation and developments in the past we can perhaps learn things for the future.

Education is a foremost objective of the museum. Museums have the capacity and the ability to impart cultural education as they house the tangible tools and materials for doing so in the collections. In modern society, museums should enrich the educational process by exposing children and public to their history in a positive way; to assist our future generations to understand and appreciate their history and culture and take pride in the achievements of past generations.

Here one of the display areas currently under renovation awaiting paint, flooring and lighting.
