In the footsteps of Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock and Marilyn Monroe 

Original film sets, real costumes and the secrets behind cinematic special effects. The Düsseldorf Film Museum shows what goes on behind the scenes of TV and cinema films. The 3D tour takes you on a journey of discovery

A visit to the film museum in the historic Carlstadt district is like a journey through film history. Spread over four floors, the permanent exhibition shows the first "light shows" with dioramas and peep-boxes, a model of the world's largest silent movie theater and a film set from 1880. From the 20th century, there are scripts and sketches for film sets, costumes and trophies of famous actors as well as records of famous directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and Federico Fellini. In the reconstructed film studio, you can feel like a Hollywood star yourself among the spotlights, cameras and wind machines. And those who simply want to become invisible have the opportunity to do so in the Blue Box.
