Fantastic museum that deepens both your understanding and appreciation for the movie industry. Watching human entertainment evolve overtime in such a curated, well put together and hugely informative exhibition is a superb experience! Everyone (even people who aren’t fans of films) should visit!

A museum dedicated to the history of cinema and the filmmaking process, and one of the city’s leading interactive museums. Its exhibitions cover early cinema, the film era, and the digital age, while also explaining the principles behind moving images. The museum displays cameras, projectors, film equipment, original designs, and figures from film culture. Visitors can also experience parts of the filmmaking process firsthand, including shooting, editing, and special effects. ※ Included in the MuseumsuferTicket.

It was a pleasure to visit the German Film Museum. I have to say that if you are nerdy enough, you will like it more. I enjoyed the big screen and effects. I also took some pictures of myself in studio lighting, and it was such an experience to see how different lighting and a good quality camera feature your face beautifully. No videos are allowed.

Small but very interesting exhibition. A great travel back in cinema history with many interactive elements. Very good to go with kids.

Not enough value for money, they're just collecting money for a exhibition that barely changes. Edit in reply to owner/staff: Thank you for the reply, but you completely missed the core of my criticism regarding the poor value for money. For future visitors reading this, here is the actual reality of how this museum is structured:The "Permanent Stagnation" Excuse: Claiming that a permanent exhibition naturally stays the same is a weak argument for an institution that holds world-class archives (including 28,000+ films and over 2 million historic photographs). Simply swapping out "a few objects" does not change the fact that visitors are charged €8 for just two tiny floors that mostly consist of 90-95% static items trapped behind glass. The Layered Upcharge Strategy: You point to your changing special exhibitions as a solution, but you conveniently fail to mention that visitors have to pay an extra €7 on top of the base fee via a €15 combined ticket to see them. On top of that, if a visitor actually wants to use your in-house cinema, they have to pay another separate €10 ticket fee. Layering costs on top of costs while ignoring a complaint about high entry prices makes no sense. Completely Out of Touch with the Market: You ignored my point about the actual scale of the exhibition versus the price. For comparison, Experimenta in Heilbronn is Germany’s largest science center at 25,000 m². A single floor there is larger than your entire film museum. Yet, an all-inclusive ticket there costs €12—which is cheaper than your €15 combined museum ticket—while offering hundreds of massive interactive stations instead of just mostly staring at glass display cases. Of course curating takes hard work, but that applies to every museum. Other, vastly larger institutions successfully scale their admission fees to match the actual size, substance, and interactivity of the visitor experience. At the DFF, you are simply paying a premium price for a very small gallery where every single addition requires a new ticket.
